How to Select Pillows for Baby - Baby Flat head Prevention (beta)

Step 1:  Select the right size base on the head circumference.

 Measure your baby's head circumference using the Measuring Tape. (This is what normally done by the health visitors as part of the regulator checkups.)

Select the right cavity size of the pillow following the chart to provide the maximum support for pressure distribution. Also, the correct cavity space encouraging growth on the side that already developed flatness.
