I don't want to be a worrywart but I cant seem to help it in this case! @2littlepumpkins: Thanks! He's been sitting for about two months and definitely more mobile so that's what I'm hoping. That's basically what his doctor has said but I can't tell if it's getting better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-flat-spot-permanent#post-2468221 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:06:04 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2468221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and 8m is a great time for more mobility and there's a good chance it will continue to round out on its own from what I've read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-flat-spot-permanent#post-2468220 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:05:25 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2468220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 18m and 2 years! </p> <p>8m is still young enough for physical therapy exercises or a helmet. My ds got his at 4 months which is ideal (we're a couple weeks in and it does seem to be starting to work) but I know our place treats until 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-flat-spot-permanent#post-2468205 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 17:38:52 +0000 FaithFertility 2468205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If pedi isn't worried I wouldn't be too worried! It should round out over time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-flat-spot-permanent#post-2468169 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 16:59:00 +0000 Jennibenni 2468169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What age do you think a flat spot on baby's head will likely stay there? DS has a flat spot right in the middle of the back of his head. We were always monitoring it through all his appointments and dr. Said it was never bad enough for referral/helmet/etc. and recommended more tummy time and working on positioning. He was also a great night sleeper early on so spent months sleeping 12 hours on his back. </p> <p>Anyway, he's almost 8 months and mostly sleeps on his tummy, and is really only on his back for diaper changes. He's already in a convertible seat which is way more upright than the infant car seat and we aren't in the car or stroller a lot. The spot is still really noticeable to me at least. Is there any hope at this point that it will round out? </p>
