| | 7 Steps to help prevent Flat Heads | |
| |
|  | 1. When they are sleeping, lift and turn your baby’s head to the side on alternate sides each day. It may be helpful to place a thin wedge under one shoulder, or a rolled-up towel under the mattress (NB, if your baby is beginning to roll over, do not use any props or wedges that could cause entanglement or suffocation). | | 2. Avoid putting mobiles and toys directly above your baby’s head, instead place them to each side to encourage head rotation. | | 3. When supervised, lay your baby on each side alternately for short periods, and on their tummy for a few minutes at a time. | | 4. When feeding, alternate the side you hold your baby to encourage head rotation in both directions. | | 5. Stand to the side when changing nappies as your baby will turn to look at you. Alternate sides at each nappy change. | | 6. Keep the amount of time your baby spends in a car seat to a minimum. Where possible use a baby carrier or sling to keep the pressure off the head. | | 7. Use a pillow or cushion under your baby’s head and shoulders for supervised play on their backs. Specialist pillows and mattresses have been developed for sleeping that can also be used in buggies and prams. |
