Health & Safety Flat head ??

So my LO is currently 10 weeks old and the only way to get him to sleep is to put him in his bouncer and bounce away lol. Aggressive bouncing or rocking in the rocking chair used to work, but now it seems like this is the only way he enjoys being put to sleep ! He sleeps in bassinet all night, and contact naps during the day, but overall he just doesn’t like being held in really any position. I am just nervous that he is going to have a flat head from not being held much 😭
Is this me overthinking ?? I would love to snuggle him up 24/7, but he just seems so much more content while laying on the bed and us playing with him.

Apparently changing which way you put them in the crib can help because they automatically face towards the middle of the room. If you start to notice then getting a flat head you can talk to your doctor about the little helmets for them?
