Great for trying to manage and prevent flat head for a newborn.

Color: Ivory Minky|Verified Purchase
My newborn had a noticeable flat spot on one side of his head when he was born. We were worried because he was consistently resting his head on that side. I did some research on Amazon and found this pillow. It's expensive, but I bought it when he was a month old. We started using it - on the play mat, in the rock and play, and in the crib during the day. It keeps his head looking straightforward with minimal turning. I did also use it while sleeping at night - but stopped after seeing that he can rock his head off of it one night.
After using it consistently during the day for 2 months, our pediatrician said that his flat spot isn't as noticeable and his head is looking good.
It's expensive yes, but cheaper than a custom made helmet! Also, you need to flip over the pillow to avoid scratching your little one's neck with the edge of the velcro.
