Plagiocephaly Pillow

[Guest guest]

I had a hard time finding a Plagiocephaly pillow for our 2 month old

baby. I finally found a company at this web link:

Give them a try if your looking for a pillow.

Our struggle was torticollis and plagiocephaly. Among the many gadgets we used

was the Boppy Nest Noggin (which I liked for his stroller, swing, chair, etc.).

Also, we used 2 different positioners to help encourage him to sleep on his

right side since he favored the left. One positioner was made of 2 wedges that

you place on either side. Somehow he was able to maneuver himself right over the

wedge. The other positioner was quite expensive but desiged specifically for

plagiocephaly " The Symmetry Sleep System. " But sadly that proved not to be

effective. Our clever son would just maneuver himself completely around to be on

his left side with his face planted in the pillow. Since that seemed unsafe to

me we didn't use that long.

I checked out the pillow you mentioned below wondered about it. After looking at

so many of the positioners and sleep aids it seemed that many of them had some

kind of memory foam in their design. This was used to help displace the

pressure/weight of the head form being on one point. It seemed like using

another pillow I would struggle with trying to keep our son on the pillow which

brought me to the conclusion to just buy an infant memory foam mattress. I found

one made of soy - polyurothane has a strong chemical smell. And we have been

quite happy with it. And we did notice a small improvement when we started using

it. I should let you know that it was shortly after getting the mattress that we

did start treatment with the helmet - and that is where we really noticed a huge

improvement.

Hope this helps.
