 Baby Head Rest
Made from shape memory foam with a soft cotton cover, the Baby-Head-Rest has been developed in Australia. It provides gentle support for baby’s head and allows natural head movements in babies 0-4 months of age.
Baby-Head-Rest does not restrict the movement of baby’s head in any way. Baby-Head-Rest was designed in response to the dramatic increase in the incidence of Flat Head Syndrome (plagiocephaly) partly due to the successful SIDS Back to Sleep program. Medical professionals say that it is still very important to sleep babies on their backs to reduce the risk of SIDS. How does the Baby Head Rest work? The gentle hollowed out and cradling design of the Baby-Head-Rest helps to eliminate the pressure on baby’s head that causes a flat spot condition in young infants. Unlike a pillow, the Baby-Head-Rest does not lift baby’s head, but provides comfort and balance as it lies naturally in the centre of the apple, allowing movement of the head to occur without restriction or discomfort. The contouring at the base of apple ensures that baby’s neck is also supported. Recent research shows that Flat Head Syndrome may be an indicator for developmental delays in young children. Once the asymmetric flattening of the skull occurs, in extreme cases the only way to correct the mis-shaping is with helmet therapy, which can be expensive and often traumatic for young children. Using the Baby-Head-Rest from day one can reduce the risk of baby developing Flat Head Syndrome and the need for corrective treatment. Furthermore, if it a flat spot is noticed within the first few weeks of birth, using the Baby-Head-Rest may stop it from worsening and could result in correction. The Baby-Head-Rest does not restrict the movement of baby’s head in any way. The Baby-Head-Rest is recommended for use from newborn until baby is 4 months of age or has begun to roll. It should only be used while baby is on his / her back. How do I use the Baby Head Rest?The Baby-Head-Rest can be used at any time baby is positioned on their back in cots, playing on the floor, in prams or even in car seats. Just place baby on back, and gently slip the Baby-Head-Rest under head so that the back of the skull is cradled gently by the hollow, with the smallest part of the apple resting under baby’s neck. It is important to continue to sleep baby on back even if a flat spot occurs, and ensure that the position of baby’s head and skull shape is monitored frequently in conjunction with Baby-Head-Rest use. Washing instructions Do not immerse Baby-Head-Rest in water as this hardens the shape-memory foam. Hand spot clean only. Click here for more information on Flat Head Syndrome |
