Positional plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) occurs when an infant's soft, pliable skull is placed in the same position for an extended time. Positional plagiocephaly has become common due to the Safe to Sleep (formerly Back to Sleep) campaign, which advocates for infants to sleep in the supine position to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The risk of SIDS outweighs the benefit of a shapely head; the infant should not be placed in the prone position to sleep, even for a daytime nap (Option B). Plagiocephaly can usually be prevented or corrected by: Frequently alternating the supine infant's head position from side to side (Option A) Minimizing the amount of time an infant's head rests against a firm surface (eg, car seat) (Option C) Placing pictures and toys opposite the favored (affected) side to encourage turning the head (Option D) Placing the infant in the prone position for 30-60 min/day ("tummy time") Educational objective: Positional plagiocephaly, or flattening of the skull, can develop when infants spend a lot of time in the same position. Positioning techniques (eg, "tummy time," alternating the head position) can prevent or correct plagiocephaly. Infants should always be placed in the supine position to sleep.
