Plagiocephaly, or flat-head syndrome, occurs in newborns and young babies when the back or sides of the head become flat or mis-shapen due to prolonged pressure from flat surfaces like cot mattresses on the skull while baby is asleep, or on their back. Made from shape memory foam with a soft cotton cover, the Baby-Head-Rest has been developed in Australia to provide gentle support for baby’s head and natural head movements, while reducing the risk of a flat spot forming (Plagiocephaly) in babies 0-4 months of age. 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 apple shaped Baby-Head-Rest should not be immersed in water as this hardens the shape-memory foam. Cover can be hand spot cleaned only. Baby-Head-Rest can be placed in a pillowcase to be kept clean Product dimensions 24 x 21 x 3 cm.
