Plagiocephaly
(Misshapen head)
Newborn babies often have an unusual head shape. This can come from the position of the baby during pregnancy. It can also happen during birth.
Plagiocephaly won’t affect your baby’s brain development but if not treated it may change their physical appearance. Usually, the head goes back to a normal shape by about six weeks of age.
A newborn baby's head is soft and may change shape easily. Flattening of the head in one area may happen if a baby lies with its head in the same position for a long time (deformational plagiocephaly).
More on plagiocephaly coming soon. Meanwhile learn more using the below links.
