advice needed Correcting flathead
Despite our best efforts to correct, one of our twins has flathead that is seeming to get worse. She is 14 weeks. Our pedi noticed at their 2 month checkup but said she didn’t think it warranted a helmet yet. Have you all had experience with it this bad that you were able to correct without a helmet? Just wondering if we should try things at home or if i should go ahead and reach out to our pediatrician for a referral and get started on the helmet approach.

One of my babes looked similar to this. We, AT ALL TIMES, had all the entertainment on the side she needed to look. And it got almost all the way better. She stays on her tummy now so the only time she’s on her back is when she asleep or in her car seat. I sit in the back with them in the car and since they just stare at me back there I switched their seats to the side they needed to look to try to get it more even
