You can prevent a flat head by rolling the baby over now and then . . .though that is not so much recommended these days. If the baby gets a flat head, it won 't stay that way forever. It will change as the child grows older.

Just don 't have them laying down all day and night long.

My mother says that when my brother was born his head was flat in the back...Starting when he was a few days old, she gently massaged his head with her hands at the edges of the flatness ..to entice the flat edges to become a bit less severe ..in essence molding a bit of a curve where the flat edges were...She used olive oil to prevent any skin irritation and to enhance the smooth massaging action she was doing....Obvious only the lightess of pressing on this area must be done...It worked ...He doesn 't have a flat back head now......But ask your doctor what he/ she thinks of massaging a baby 's head to achieve roundness before you do anything please....This was many years ago, and other solutions might be more effective now.
