Anti Flat Head Pillow
One type of baby pillow that many parents seek out is a pillow designed to help prevent flat head syndrome. This can happen when a baby lies with their head in the same position day after day.

Understandably, parents are concerned about their baby developing a flat head!

While you should discuss any concerns with your baby’s pediatrician, flat head syndrome isn’t usually a major problem and often resolves itself with a bit of care.

And the bottom line remains: it simply isn’t safe for your baby to sleep with a baby pillow, no matter what that pillow claims to do.

To safely combat flat head syndrome, increase tummy time, hold your baby when you can, and give them plenty of things to look at so they’re using new muscles and not always in the same position.

So, what’s the deal with these baby pillows? There’s no reason to ever use them.

First of all, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends putting your baby to sleep on their back, not their side, for every sleep — nighttime as well asnaps.

Secondly, even if there was a reason for your baby to sleep on their side, pillows in the crib are still a no-go!
