4 Month Old with a Flat Head

I have a four month old who has a bit of a flat head in the back. Her doctor said I should take her to a specialist to see if she should be fitted for a scull cap/helmet. Has anyone else had this done to there child due to a flat head? And does it work? How long did your child have to ware it?

Back to Bed Causes Need for Helmets for Infants

Has anyone had their child's doctor tell them that since we are all afraid of SIDS, that we have to put the child on their back when sleeping? Well it's causing a flat area on my 3 month's head.

We are also trying the Noggin...
