Positional Plagiocephaly This refers to the flattening of one side of the skull due to prolonged pressure on one spot, often due to the baby spending too much time lying on their back. This can lead to an alternate head position, where the infant prefers to turn their head to one side. This is commonly seen with the increased use of back sleeping.

Next Steps

Repositioning and physical therapy are common methods of addressing this condition.
