My son's head is on a flat side, and I'm looking for safe products to use to prevent his head from staying flat. Do you recommend any products? How effective were they?
Flat heads get worse if your baby is always lying on the back. Longer tummy time certainly helps remedy it. But when the baby's sleeping, you can use the Lovenest pillow. I used this pillow for my baby since he was a month old, and it's been so helpful. It was recommended by my postpartum doula as a preventative measure to keep my baby's head from going flat. The pillow is designed so that the baby's head lies naturally at the center of the pillow.
The center hole helps to distribute pressure evenly over the skull.
I got 2, so I could use one for the stroller and the other for the crib.
