Spinoff - Flat head ?

Other than the fact that it looks kind of funny, is there a medical reason why it is bad for a baby to have a flat head?

Re: Spinoff - Flat head ?

I suppose the thing to worry about is that if the childs head is too flat on one place, the rest of the childs head has to grow in other places to make sure everything knits together and fits in. For instance, my son has a flat head in the back, he is going to be 3 in January, we have seen a doctor about this and there is a slight (not seen to the untrained eye) bulge in his forehead across from the flat head. For us, this won't and doesnt' cause problems, my dad has quite a flat head, so its partly genetics, but you don't want your childs head to grow in an abnormal shape, and not have enough room for all the brains and head goop thats in there.

I am not a doctor, but I play one on TV.
