Understanding Plagiocephaly: Causes, Prevention, and the Role of Tummy Time
Plagiocephaly, commonly known as "flat head syndrome," is a condition where a baby’s head develops a flat spot due to consistent pressure on one area of the skull. This can occur when babies spend extended periods lying on their backs. However, with proper prevention methods like tummy time and the use of specialized baby pillows, parents can significantly reduce the risk of plagiocephaly.
