My baby has a 'funny shaped' head

You may be concerned that your baby develops a different head shape in the first few months, possibly with some flattening on one side.

This is called plagiocephaly and is quite common in babies, as their skull bones are soft and can reshape. The flat area may be at the side or back of your baby's head.
