It is known that crooked or flattened skulls occur because babies lay in a favoured position for too long. The baby's skull is still weak, so one side of the head can end up flatter than the other.
In addition to a skewed head, a laying preference can have other consequences; it may cause babies to move asymmetrically or unilaterally, causing development barriers.
With simple changes to behaviour, you can stimulate the baby to more actively favour the non-favoured side. Here are some examples.
While feeding
If you bottle feed, keep him firm so that he has to turn to the non-favoured side to see you. Make sure both arms are forward.
Or put him right in front of you, so his head stays in the middle.
