I had the same issue with my son when he was about the same age. His head was getting flat in the back from sleeping in the same position as well. Anyways, we brought him to a neurosurgon who basically told us that he is fine, aside from the flat look, which wont go away. He told us that he could wear a helmit at night to stop it from getting worse, but the helmit would not make it better. We elected to go against getting the helmit, due to the fact that almost the same day he started rolling over. now that he was more mobile he was moving around more in his sleep. It never got any worse, he is 3 now and since his hair grew in, you cant even notice it.

I can definately relate to the stress that it put us though when this was happening & even switched peditricions. Stupid Dr's change the damn rule every year (First sleep them on the stomach, then SIDS, now sleep then on the back). Its all a bag of Bullshit in my opinion, to prevent lawsuits.

Well guess what when my second son was born, we sleeped him on his stomach & it worked out perfect. I Don't believe that SIDS crap.

Well good luck & dont stress, your daughter will be just fine.
