Many Malaysian parents worry when they notice their baby’s head looking a little flat on one side. This condition, called Flat Head Syndrome (or Positional Plagiocephaly), is common in infants — especially during the first 6 months when babies spend most of their time lying down.

But here’s the good news: with the right sleep setup and daily care, you can help reduce the risks. 💜

1. What is Flat Head Syndrome? 🍼

• It happens when a baby’s soft skull develops a flat spot, often from lying in the same position for too long.

• It’s more common in newborns who spend long hours sleeping on their backs.

• While mostly cosmetic, it can worry parents and affect confidence.

2. Why It’s a Growing Concern in Malaysia 🌏

• Babies spend 16–18 hours a day sleeping.

• Limited tummy time during the day makes flat spots more likely.

• Many parents Google “flat head baby Malaysia” and “best pillow or mattress for flat head”.

3. Tips to Prevent Flat Head Syndrome ✅

• Tummy time: Supervised play on the tummy helps strengthen neck & shoulder muscles.

• Alternate head position: Gently turn baby’s head to different sides during sleep.

• Limit long time in car seats or swings: These keep baby’s head pressed in one spot.

• Choose the right sleep surface: A safe, firm mattress helps distribute pressure evenly.

4. Why Mattress Choice Matters 🛏️

• Too soft = increases pressure points & risk of flat spots.

• Too hard = uncomfortable, disrupts sleep.

• The ideal baby mattress should be:

  • Firm yet supportive for even head support

  • Breathable to reduce overheating 🌬️

  • Flat sleeping surface — avoid cushions or wedges that aren’t safe
