Baby Pillow

Question: Has anyone tried these baby pillows and do they work?

(Posted by: mum to Summer and Scott x on 2009-07-18 08:23:44)

Hey, my daughter had torticollis (tightening of the neck muscles) when she was born, meaning she could only turn her head one way. This lead to her developing plagiochephaly (flat head syndrome) which she is still under going treatment for (she has to wear a cranial helmet 23 hours a day). Anyway, I am pregnant with our second child and have been looking at preventative pillows on the market so wanted to know if anyone had tried these? are they safe and do they work?

I used them, and they worked miracles! not only do they help support the baby 's head, but they also help keep the baby in a safe and comfortable position! i would defiantly buy one!

They aren 't considered safe by and reputable safety or health organization. If you want to prevent plagiochephaly limit time spent in swings, bouncy chairs, strollers, and car seats and invest in a good baby carrier such as a wrap or mei tei. The majority of babies with plagiochephaly spend 4+ hours per day in the devices listed above, of course torticollis also compounds the effects of these devices by further limiting the position the baby can keep their head in.
