Mije Baby Head Rest prevents flat head syndrome in babies

• Australian developed product for the prevention of ‘flat head’ syndrome in babies
  
• Mothers are actively seeking a solution to this ever increasing problem – two in every 20 babies are affected
• Current and important health issue in Australia
  
• Made of shape memory foam with a soft cotton cover

With 20 – 50% of all infants suffering from flat-head syndrome Mije has launched a new product to assist in preventing flat-head in newborns.

The head support’s hollowed out centre and gentle contoured shape assist in preventing flat-head, by supporting babies’ soft heads and eliminating the pressure of flat surfaces for prolonged periods, which cause baby’s skull to ‘flatten’.

If left on their back for lengthy periods such as during sleep, infants have a greater risk of developing Plagiocephaly. The deformity generally develops by two months of age, yet can be prevented with the use of the baby-head-rest whenever the infant is on their back.

• The baby-head-rest is not a pillow and doesn’t lift baby’s head
  
• Ideal for use for infants 0 – 4 months of age, or until baby can roll
  
• Using the baby-head-rest from day one can dramatically reduce the risk of baby developing Plagiocephaly and the need for correct treatment, such as helmet therapy.
  
• If a flat spot is noticed within four months of birth, the baby-head-rest may stop it from worsening and can often correct the condition.
