It's not advised to use any kind of bedsheets or pillows until 1 year of age to prevent suffocation during sleep.. Babies should b always placed flat on their back on firm surface
Next Steps
To avoid flat head u need to place the baby on tummy when they are awake.. Called tummy time for atleast 3-5 minutes initially, 2-3 times a day
As the baby grows shape will get adjusted
