Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome in babies)

Babies sometimes develop a flattened head when they're a few months old. This is usually as a result of them spending a lot of time lying on their back. It’s known as flat head syndrome or plagiocephaly. Sheila Kiely, Physiotherapy Manager at Sligo University Hospital, tells you how to look out for flat head syndrome, what you can do to prevent it, and where to get help for your baby.
