Positional plagiocephaly is the posterior lateral flattening of one side of the head. This flattening may cause facial asymmetries, a bulging of the forehead and a forward shifting of the ear on the same side as the flat spot. Positional plagiocephaly most commonly occurs in the first 6 months after birth and is due to the resting position of the baby’s head. Click here for tips and more information
