We are trying to prevent my sons flat head from getting worse! Is this something that can be used in the crib to help? He is 4 months old.

My 4-month old girl has round head since birth and has been round still after using this pillow so I guess it helps.

This can be used anywhere. We used it for my son when he naps in our bed, sleep through the night in his crib, or laying on the sofa while watching tv. Whenever my son is laying on his back or side, we use this pillow every time. Also, I would not hesitate to get this pillow. I took before and after photos of the back of my son's head, and after a month, you really notice the difference.

I guess it's better than not using anything at all, but this pillow got mis-shaped for me after first wash. Plus keep in mind, your baby's head can get sweaty easily with this fabric. I recommend the babymoon pillow.

I'm not a doctor so I can't really say but that's where we use it the most cause my son sleeps ten or more hours.. I started using it at six months old cause that's when my dr told us his head was getting flat he's nine months old now and he still uses it so far so good no flat head :)

What I did with my last pack n play (5 years ago), was cut a small slit in the mesh by the fabric and threaded the Angelcare wires through the hole to keep it away from baby's reach. This works best if you're trying to use the pack n play as a crib. I also placed a hard surface below the mattress of the pack n play to keep the monitor steady. Didn't have any sensitivity issues with the monitor. It worked just fine. Just an idea.

I use a regular crib sheet and use suspender type things to keep it pulled tight across the back ... Other than that, I don't know.

We used it in daughter crib but held it. I wouldn't leave it unattended.It's also good for your head and shoulders. My barber used it after a cut . I've read post that women it for "well you know" but I have no clue about that

We bought this for our son at six months after seeing the neurologist. He had some flatness but not to the level where he needed a helmet. We are big fans. We used this at nap and bedtime and had something similar for his car seat. We used it from 6 to just over 9 mns.

We never had that issue esp. when our son was an infant. Now that he is 18 months, he is all over the crib anyway, but the mattress did not pose a risk;

I use it primarily in the car (while my child is in his carseat) as that is when he tends to need it due to sleeping and sitting, like on a long car trip. It does tilt his head forward, but we move it around to fit properly. My husband tried putting it on our son backwards so it propped his chin up while he was sleeping. Worked pretty well for us! :)

I usually don't have a problem with head support in this car seat. I have it facing forward and it sits up with a little recline. Only a few times do I remember his head falling forward. He usually leans his head to side of the head support and goes to sleep. As they get older, they get better at laying their head to the side and not forward. You can always place an extra head support in the seat for peace of mind. It's a really good seat though.

Please don't, it comes lose on fall on head, regardless of how much you tighten it. Spend a little bit more money and get something secure that will not crack open your childs skull.

That's exactly what I've been using it for. I just adjust his head every so often to make sure it's supported because since this is on an incline, his head can slump down a bit sometimes. However, since you're feeding every 3 hrs you have plenty of opportunity to reposition. It's the only thing my newborn will sleep in. He wouldn't use the flat co-sleeper bassinet/pack and play we bought--I think because it made his stomach hurt because he couldn't get his burps out flat on his back. This is one of the few incline sleepers. It's very easy to pack from room to room.

I can't really help, since our little one is 3-1/2 months old, so she hasn't used it yet. Perhaps cushion her head with a flannel receiving blanket?

Yes, my baby chewed/licked it off before he had more than a couple of teeth, and it ruined the side of the crib. (luckily we did not have it on the expensive crib, just a fold up one) I would not suggest these.

Yes, but you'll probably have to make adjustments. I bought a head support pillow set for baby's carseat, and have used that effectively to keep my LO's head from lolling about and keep it in one of the more reclined positions until he gains better neck control. I bought: JJ Cole Head Support Graphite and it includes TWO head support pillows of different sizes.

There is NO padding...that's what allows the air flow. Definitely not a fix for her head "bumps". This item is a great thing for tiny babies...ones that haven't started moving around in their crib yet. For those who are starting to move about the crib, they don't fit the bill with respect to bumps, but they do help keep arms and legs in.

That's exactly what it's for. The pillow isn't attached at all. I used it to prop in front of my 8 month old son so he wouldn't wobble as much, then in the checkout I played with him like it was a sword to keep him occupied while we waited. It has quite a bit of padding in it, so it won't really "bend" around the baby, but it will sit in front or behind him/her very functionally.

I haven't tried that but it seems to key in on the baby's movement more, however any movement will make it think all is ok. Try to only use it in a static environment where the baby is the only thing that can move.

I started using it when my son was able to hold his head up on his own. He's now 4 1/2 months old and still loves it.
