Advice for a 5 month old with brachycephally

My son is nearly 5 months old and his head is quite flat. Initially

diagnosed with plagio cephally it has now rotated to brachy cephally.

My pediatrician is very against helmets and tells me that the head

will naturally round itself out. However, it has been more than two

months of trying to reposition and also chiropractic cranial sacral

therapy and his head shape is not improving. I am concerned we are not

getting the best advice and would like to know if a helmet is our best

option. We are currently living abroad in Australia and the helmet

clinic here doesn't even see children before the age of 8 months.

Please help with any advice you have. I am becoming tempted to fly

back to the states to have him treated. If anyone has any great tips

on convincing my little guy to sleep on his side, that would be a big

help too. Thanks so much.
