Best pillow to help flat head syndrome?

35 replies

Aberforthsgoat · 15/04/2020 10:06

DS is four months and has what I thought was quite mild flat head but I think it's getting more severe now it looks like a bit of his head has been sliced off back right because that's where he sleeps despite all my repositioning
His ears are still aligned etc so that's good but I want to order some pillows to try and help

Wondered if anyone had any good results with any they could recommend?

Have you spoken to your health visitor or the GP?

Aberforthsgoat · 16/04/2020 12:01

I called my GP but they just said reposition and tummy time won't see him obviously due to current situation, same with health visitor

Ypur health visitor can refer you to physiotherapy. They won't see you face to fsce at the moment but they may at least do a telephone consultation for now. Some of them are doing video consultations.

Thank you they didn't mention this when I called but I will call them again

Hi Aberforthsgoat,

Just wondered how you are getting on with your little one? I’m dealing with a very similar situation right now, my 4 month old has a bad flat spot and I have bought a mimos pillow to try to help along with the repositioning. Hope things improved for you.

I can't believe the gp will not see you for this, this is really serious! Lockdown has caused all sorts of problems. I know those an old post but I've noticed this with my 3 month baby and have booked an app with my gp and bought the mimos pillow.

Is anyone able to recommend a pillow that has helped to fix a very flat head please? Obviously I would only use it under complete supervision. My 3 month olds head is extremely flat at one side, awaiting physio. Thanks xx
