Moose Baby Head Shape Support Pillow – Reduce Pressure & Lower Risk of Flat Head Syndrome
Back is Best
Research is clear that on the back is the best way for your baby to sleep. It is twice as safe as the side and six times safer than the front. Sleeping your baby on the back is one of the best ways to protect your baby from sudden infant death syndrome.
Some babies develop misshapen, flat or an uneven head shape from too much time spent lying on one part of the head. This is called ‘positional head-flattening’ or medically the term is Plagiocephaly (play-gee-oh-kef-a-lee).
During the first few months the bones of your baby’s skull are quite soft. Pressure from lying on the same spot, can make the head change shape. In our busy lifestyle we often have baby lying flat against a surface.
Although there is no evidence that head flattening causes harm, most parents would like to prevent it.
Your newborn will generally stay in the position they are placed for sleep, until they can move themselves. You need to alternate your baby’s head position when they sleep. However some babies prefer a certain head position.
Your baby may be born with a slight flat spot due to the delivery. This can make their head rest more easily on that spot. Or they may have a favourite head position and so a flat area develops from habit. This is where the BABY HEAD SHAPE SUPPORT comes in handy.
The curved design of the BABY HEAD SHAPE SUPPORT gently supports your baby’s head and eases the pressure on the back of the head. The support still allows your baby natural movement without restriction or discomfort.
What is Plagiocephaly – misshapen head or flat head syndrome?
It is quite common for a newborn baby to have an unusually shaped head. This can be either related to their position in the uterus during pregnancy, or caused by moulding (changing shape) during labour, including changes caused by instruments used during delivery.
Flat Head Syndrome occurs because the bones of a newborn baby's head are thin and flexible, so the head is soft and may change shape easily. Flattening of the head in one area may happen if a baby lies with their head in the same position for a long time.

Eden Co-Sleeper Crib (with two FREE mattress protectors)
Co-sleeping with bubs the safe way
As a parent you'll know how difficult it can be to put a newborn baby down in their own bed to sleep, let alone put them in a different room to sleep. It’s also a fact of life that newborns want to be right next to the smells, sounds and warmth of their parent. They settle, sleep and feed better that way.
Co-sleeping, meaning having bubs sleep in the same room as their parent, has been proven to reduce the chances of SUDI (Sudden Unexplained Death in Infancy) and it is recommended that baby sleeps in the same room as a parent for the first 6-12 months of life.
Our Eden Co-Sleeping Crib allows you and your baby the comfort of sleeping side by side, while keeping baby in their own very safe, separate space.
