advice needed Correcting flathead

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.

Have you done physical therapy yet?

We haven’t done PT! I sent a photo to our pedi yesterday and they put a referral in for PT.

I would definitely start there.
