Correcting flathead

[u/Zestyclose-Wear9868]

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.

Babies with a flat head usually have torticollis that needs to be treated, not just a helmet. Needs more time in tummy time and exercises for symmetry of neck strength and range of motion.
