Can Baby Falling On The Back Of Head Worsen Flatness Of Head?
my baby is 15 months old, he has developed a minor flat head since the age of 1 month, it was not so severe that helmettherapy was adviced, he now is starting with walking and this week he has fallen at least 2 times a day really hard on the back of his head while falling from the sofa or trying to walk, he is rather wild in his play, my question is; if my baby falls often on the back of his head like this can it worsen the flatness of his head or is that not possible at this age

Hi...do not worry. Falling back while playing will not flatten the backside of head of a 15 months old kid. Nothing to worry about the head shape if the if the kid is normal playing and developmentally normal.
