The Lovenest Newborn Head Support is a small, soft heart shape developed by French Pediatrician, Dr Manuel Maidenberg, takes the pressure off the single spot, whilst still allowing baby to move their head. Combining the Lovenest with a few simple recommendations from Dr Maindenburg (provided with the Lovenest) will help considerably prevent the "flat head' condition.
Positional plagyocephalia or "flat head" has become a very common occurrence with the high recommendation to place babies on their backs to sleep, but with the huge reduction in the incidences of SIDS you really wouldn't sleep them any other way.
The problem is, babies tend to find a comfy spot, then once a flat spot starts the baby's head will generally return to that same spot making the flat spot even more pronounced. Unfortunately, some infant’s heads may take years to return to a normal shape and can look very strange. At present, the only known cure is for the infant to wear an uncomfortable helmet 22 hours a day. So, as any Doctor will tell you, prevention is better than a cure.
