is it appropriate to use for babies 2-3 weeks old? our baby's neck slides to a side when we would like it to be straight when he sleeps.

My niece has been using it since about 3 weeks in with no problems. She's still able to move her head a bit to the side, but not to the point where it'd be uncomfortable and undesireable where her head is flat on the side.

I don't think so . Usually babies slides neck since they born, however if you notice something difference in your baby, ask the Doctor what would be. The Noggin have a purpose just for those babies who has flat head.

I used with my son when he was about 6 weeks old and he slept good with it. I would say ask your pediatrician if you think it is too early for your baby to use it.

I know it may not be recommended for babies that young, but the pillow is just supposed to relieve pressure from laying on the mattress pad. It gives cushion, so it isn't an issue which direction the baby turns its head! Hope this helps! :)

Yes, I found it was only useful the first few weeks and then my don quickly outgrew it.

I wouldn't! i tried it and decided that its not a good idea at all, at this age babies are too fragile.

I used it when my child was 5-6 months old. He didn't fit perfectly but I got the belt as tight as it would go. then put blankets on either side of him to keep him sitting straight. He loved it. He's almost 3 and still loves riding in it.

I did not try using the chair when my son was two months old. We didn't get this chair until he was almost 1. However, I have a different chair that reclines just the same as this Graco Slim and I have put my infant daughter in the chair at 3.5 months old. It's a bit big so I put blankets on each side of her. I only did this a few times when i needed to be in the kitchen. I wasn't the most comfortable with doing this but i was very close to her. Now I use her bassinet instead. Hope this helps.

My baby just turned one year old, but she has fallen asleep in it several times. I have looked at her and never seen her neck roll. It reclines enough that she is laid back and cradled in it.

In my opinion your child needs to have passed the infant stage for this seat to work and have enough strength in her/his neck to handle being forward facing. The seat sits really straight so there is little angle for the neck. Just my thoughts.

I have a dual, and by the time my daughter was 12 months, her use of the infant side made it actually softer than the toddler side. So now our next baby gets to use the toddler side for better firmness.

I started using mine when my son was 4months old. As long as the baby has good head control and can hold his head up well by himself he should be fine

9 months old is WAY too young--using a pillow in such a young baby would increase the risk of SIDS/suffocation. Wait until your baby is at least standing/walking independently, but ideally until 2 years old.

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

I purchased this for my then 3 month old now 4 month old and it is perfect for 3-9 months I would say. As long as they have pretty good head control. The reason I say 9 months because my other two children started walking around 9 months and I can't imagine that they would sit in it once they were on the move.

1. You could use this for tummy time, but if your child is using their legs to push off at all (like when they're starting to crawl), they might go over the front edge if they're on their belly. 2. You can use this pillow immediately after birth! I found it when my daughter was about a month old, and she is almost 3 months now and still uses it.

It's fine for newborns, up to 6 months or so. But there isn't a lot of room for rolling back and forth after that. And if your infant can stand, either unsupported or by supporting him/herself, I wouldn't use this cradle, even if you lock the cradle so it can't rock. It just isn't that deep.

I personally wouldn't use this stroller until the newborn or infant had pretty good head control. I started using this when my baby was about 5 months and around 17 lbs. But he is a bigger baby!

It reclines pretty far back. I would say yes but it might not be good for a 3 month old since it doesn't have a lot of shock absorption.

Newborn to about 9 months or use your judgement. If they are crawling out of this then the time is to stop using it. I used it for my gradson up until about 11 months. He started to pull up on it and sit up and I did not want him falling out. So use your judgement on your baby.

I bought this pillow, which professional reviews states is suitable from birth although I bought it at about 5 months. I further researched however, that babies don't need pillows to sleep and she has proven that by finding her way flat on the mattress rather than staying on the pillow. It's now used when I can monitor her during her daily naps.

We recline when we think our 23 month old will fall asleep and it works well and prevents the forward head slump. If we forget though she slumps her head.
