Why Back Sleeping Is Best

Placing your baby on their back to sleep is the safest choice. It's roughly twice as safe as side sleeping and six times safer than front sleeping, and it's one of the best ways to protect against sudden infant death syndrome.

Why Some Babies Develop a Flat Spot

If you're comparing infant pillows or a pillow for newborns to help prevent flat spots, here's what's going on. Because babies sleep so much on their backs, some develop a flat or uneven area from resting in one position too long. This is called positional head-flattening, medically known as Plagiocephaly or flat head syndrome. It happens because a newborn's skull is still soft in the first few months, so steady pressure in one spot can gradually change its shape.

Your baby might already have a slight flat spot from their position before birth, or simply develop a favourite head position over time. There's no evidence that a flat spot causes harm, but most parents would rather prevent it early.

How This Baby Head Pillow Helps

This baby head pillow gently cradles your baby's head and spreads pressure evenly, easing the load on one area of the skull. Unlike an ordinary newborn pillow, it doesn't lift or tilt your baby's head, so they can still move naturally and comfortably.

Use it as a flat head pillow any time your baby is lying flat, in the cot, on the floor, or out in the pram.

Other Ways to Help Prevent a Flat Spot

Alongside using a baby flat head pillow, alternating your baby's sleep position, varying how you carry them, and regular tummy time all help protect their head shape. Read our full guide: 4 ways to prevent a flat spot on baby's head.
