My kids never had flat spots on their heads, probably because they both seemed to inherit my gene of rolling all over the place while sleeping. Ever since they were little and could first roll over they rolled over in their sleep, they thrashed around all night never leaving their head in one place long enough to get a flat spot thankfully.
But the flat spots is happening to often now. Its something we are hearing more and more about now, and it is scary. Not as scary as SIDS, but both of these things keep happening, so we as parents need to keep an eye on our children while they sleep to try and prevent both of these things from happening.
So remember, if you put a blanket on your baby tuck it under their arms towards the lower half of their body. If you lay your kid down in the bed, try not to put them in the same spot on the mattress each night, and try to turn their head more one way or the other to keep their heads even.
