Mimos Pillow is specially designed to prevent positional Plagiocephaly. While the corrective positioning of your baby may work well up the age of 3 months; after this age, it can become very difficult to alter your baby's sleeping position. Mimos Pillow eases the pressure on your baby's head and has been shown to get great results, particularly when introduced before 6 months of age. 

Clinically proven to prevent and treat baby flat head syndrome and highly recommended by doctors and physicians, internationally. Mimos pillow helps to relieve the pressure exerted on your baby's skull during rest and sleep. 

Babies habitually have a preferred side which they will sleep on, meaning the pressure is usually focused on one side of the head. As a baby gets older it can be increasingly difficult to improve this sleeping position through repositioning and Tummy Time. Repositioning requires unwavering attention, especially during the night, and may upset your baby if they feel uncomfortable being moved out of their chosen favorite position. Mimos Pillow removes the need to worry about constantly repositioning your baby. Simply place your baby so his or her head is located within the pillow's cavity. This will reduce the pressure by distributing the weight of the head. 

Mimos Pillow is proud to boast the following accolades: 

1) CE approved Class I Medical Device 

2) Airflow Safety - Anti-suffocation TUV certification. 

3) European Safety certification EN71-1 "Safe for children 0-3 years". 

4) Textile safety certification - Oeko-Tex 100 Class 1 safe for babies. 

5) Recommended by Paediatricians.
