Who should use Mimos baby pillow?

Especially useful for babies:

• who resist repositioning (or counter positioning)
• who have higher risk factors
• with special conditions such as hip dysplasia, arms or collar bines fractured and craniotabes
• for prevention and good night sleep

Protest against counter positioning

To avoid frustration due to counter positioning and also to effectively help baby to round out flat spot, Mimos baby pillow provides the best solution.

It is very common that many babies are recalcitrant to repositioning (sleep on the rounder side) this is because babies are accustomed to sleep position in the first 3 months of life and do not easily accept the change of sleep position after that time.

Deformational plagiocephaly High risk groups

• Twins or of multiple births
• Males
• Favorite head position (positional preference)
• Born between 34 and 37 weeks' gestational age
• Torticollis
• Head tilt

Studies have shown that these babies are at higher risk of developing severe flat head syndrome (deformational plagiocephaly).

The most effective method to minimize flat head syndrome in these groups of babies before it becomes problematic is through taking early preventative measures which include Mimos baby pillow together with tummy time, positioning techniques, neck muscles stretching exercise (for torticollis and asymmetry neck muscle tightness).

Special conditions

• Arms or collar bones fractured due to birth injury
• Hip dysplasia which may require the use of special band for treatment/li>

These conditions can restrict baby from performing tummy time or staying in the upright positions in the early life.

Other special condition like craniotabes (abnormal softening or thinning of the skull) in otherwise normal newborn can also benefit from using Mimos pillow for a gentler support to the exceptional soft skull and prevention of flat head syndrome.
