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 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.
