Kaiya was the same, it looked worse as she didn't ( and still doesn't ) have any hair. She's now 9 months and because she sits it's started to sort itself out and her head is becoming rounder. If you feel it's bad have a chat with you hv and see if she thinks it needs looking at. In bad cases you get special little helmets to help them. You can also buy special pillows that mould round the baby and take the pressure off the head when they lay. http://www.goigoibabypillows.co.uk/dagens.html

My son was born at 32 weeks and is now 5 weeks old (wud be 37 weeks preg now)
he was in scbu and was always on his back with face on side, that his left or right cheek wud be on the mattress which has made his head long.
i am trying ti make him sleep with his head pointing up so that the bone on the back of head will flatten a bit, but he keeps putting face on side.
any ideas what i can do??
thx
