New Infant Pillow Aids In The Prevention Of Flat Spots orPlagiocephaly

The Infant Head Bed pillow aids in the prevention of Plagiocephaly or abnormal flattening of the infant head. Abnormal head shape can be caused by the child sleeping with its head consistently in the same position. The specially contoured Infant Head Bed pillow gently holds the infant head in alternate positions while sleeping to allow nature to correct the abnormality before it starts. Created by Dr. Steven H. Warnock, M.D., the specially contoured pillow is the result of testing and analysis with hundreds of infants to create a device capable of repositioning the infant head during sleep.

Plagiocephaly can be caused by a number of conditions, said Dr. Warnock. From events before or during birth to an abnormal tilt of the head called Torticollis, one recent pediatric study showed that between 10% and 61% of infants exhibit some level asymmetry of the head. Hundreds of my patients have benefited from the Infant Head Bed because it offers an inexpensive, natural, non-invasive way of assisting in the prevention of Plagiocephaly.

The Infant Head Bed is best used after the baby falls asleep. The contoured pillow can then be placed underneath the child'ss head to gently allow the parent to reposition the head. If the flat area of the head is directly on the back, simply positioning the head to the right or left can alleviate pressure on the back of the head, aiding in the prevention of abnormal shape. The Infant Head Bed is one size fits all and can be used whether or not the child'ss head rests completely within its contoured horseshoe shape.

Many parents use the Infant head Bed before there are signs of abnormality to help prevent flat spots or bald spots. The Infant Head Bed is designed for use from birth to five months when the baby'ss cranial bones are still soft, but should be discontinued if the baby can easily turn their head or roll over from back to front.

The Infant Head Bed is not a replacement for helmet therapy which is intended to correct Plagiocephaly once it has already occurred, but may help to prevent abnormalities from beginning or getting worse in mild cases. Parents with any concerns should consult their pediatrician, family doctor, or a craniofacial plastic surgeon.

The Infant Head Bed is available online for $24.95 at http://www.InfantHeadBed.com. Pediatricians, Retailers and Distributors interested in offering the Infant Head Bed may contact Infant Head Bed Marketing.
