Re: Hi I am new too...please advice

I would go to a specialist rather than wait just to see what you are

working with. Maybe it will round out but maybe it won't. We

noticed our son's flattening at 2 months, went to CT at 3months, and

finally decided to band at 7.5 months. From 2 months-7.5 months, we

repositioned, did even more tummy time, etc. and our son's head

didn't get worse but it also didn't get better. So from our

experience, it doesn't round out. My son is now 13 months and the

flattening that was left after banding (not much) is still there so

I would think that it won't round out on its own. I would do

stretches if you need to and reposition and work on increasing tummy

time. You can always wait and set a date (like a month or two from

now) and if you see positive results and if not, then band. Good

luck.
