Is A Flattened Area Behind The Head Of An Infant A Concern?
my grand daughter is 7 weeks old. I noticed that on the back of her head, on the right behind and below the temporal area is flattened. her mom had had a gastric sleeve surgery 1.5 years prior to surgery and I am assuming flattened area result of low amniotic fluid. if low amniotic flud is reason for flattened area should this improve or when should we be worried?

Hi
You change position of head regularly. Aboid keeping head on one side.
It should correct flat head.
You can use mustard pillow.
If all these measures fails in long run there comes some helmets to correct such flat heads
Best wishes
