Do not worry. Skull bones will modify with age but you can help him with gentle massage of head.

Normally all babies mould the shape and reach normal shape by one year. If in doubt you may do a MRI and make sure.

Flattening of head at this age is mainly due to constant pressure on one side of head. Once baby will start sitting, it will take its original shape of its own. You need not apply pressure in any form.
