Why Does My Baby Need a Baby Head Support? How Will it Help Prevent Flat Head Syndrome? |
 |
 |
Post-birth, although giving your baby some tummy time on an everyday basis is helpful in preventing Flat Head Syndromee, you can also use head rests designed especially for very young babies. As there are a number of options to choose from, doing some research before you buy anything is definitely recommended. Head rests approved by regulatory health organisations such as the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) or the US FDA should be considered.
Effective baby head support products essentially work by minimising and redistributing the pressure that is applied to the head and this is mainly because of the increased surface area that the head rests upon. These, coupled with adequate tummy time, should greatly minimise the chances of your baby developing flat head syndrome.
If you notice a change in the shape of your baby’s head, consulting a medical practitioner should be your first priority. |
