Another article for the "Well, DUH!" file. Amazing how some people
manage to walk without someone else (a physician?) telling them
(headphones?) how ("Left foot...right foot...left foot...right
foot...left foot...").

Is a slightly flattened back of the head (aka: positional
plagiocephaly) dangerous to brain development?

Overwhelmingly, no. Some flattened-head cases, however (e.g., those
severe enough to require corrective helmets), could conceivably hamper
*social* development if allowed to go unchecked. With all the concern
about "bullying" these days, I'd advise parents, especially those
reluctant to encourage their kids to defend themselves, to try to have
their kids look as "normal" as possible.

What is normal?

And what percent of kids does this affect?

All the best,

Jeff
