Flat heads are common — panic isn’t required. With early guidance, most babies’ head shapes improve beautifully.

What is it?
Plagiocephaly is flattening of one area of a baby’s skull, often related to positional preference or limited movement. It is common, especially since safe sleep recommendations, and often improves with conservative management.
How we treat it at Alaga
• Full head shape + movement assessment • Identify contributing factors (sleep position, preference, tummy time tolerance) • Positioning education for sleep, play, feeding, and carrying • Tummy time strategies parents can actually do • Referral pathways for helmet therapy if clinically indicated
