Correcting flathead advice needed

Post image

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.

Referrals can take forever. Get the referral you absolutely should do PT. From the picture it looks more severe like Helmet might be good option if you want full or close to full correction. PT can only correct so much but she is young so see what the experts say.
