Abstract

Flat head in infants is a common complaint among parents, with many concerned about cosmesis and whether their child would eventually grow out of it. As primary care physicians who often encounter these queries from parents during routine developmental assessments, it is useful to understand how to pick up red flags, what advice to give, and when reassurance is all that is needed.
