Flat head may appear flat head syndrome, which affects brain development and leads to irreversible changes in the infant’s intelligence, motor and other neurological pathologies.
Flat head syndrome is a condition in which the infant’s skull is flattened to varying degrees, mostly due to prenatal or postnatal mechanical deformities, especially during the neonatal period, which can cause physical damage, affect brain development, and lead to irreversible neurological changes in the infant’s intelligence and motor skills, and the effects on appearance do not resolve with age and skull growth.
Caregivers should be instructed on sleeping positions after birth, and frequent changes in the infant’s sleeping position and cranial stress position can effectively reduce the incidence of flat head deformity, so please consult with a medical professional.
