Most of a child’s skull growth occurs during infancy. The sooner flat head (plagiocephaly) is diagnosed and treatment is started, the better. Most treatment options centre around tummy time, adding in specific exercises in more ongoing cases. In this instance, the support of a paediatric physiotherapist will be invaluable. We have been recommending the Mimos pillow for a while now and the feedback from parents has been amazing. The difference in the shape of baby’s head, even after two weeks, has been very encouraging. The sooner you start using the pillow the better the results as the bones of the skull have less movement as baby gets older.
The Mimos pillow was designed specially to prevent and correct cranial deformities during baby’s first few months. The pillow increases the area of contact beneath the head thereby reducing the pressure by up to four times. It comes in a few sizes depending on the circumference of baby’s head. It’s breathable and washable. It is an investment well worth making as the results speak for themselves.
