“There
is not enough education on this subject. Many parents are told
to ignore the problem and that it will go away on its own,
this is not always the case. I believe that better understanding
of the condition will help Paediatricians and General Practitioners
to advise parents appropriately and offer simple strategies
for prevention and improvement. I see many babies in my practice
with some degree of flattened skulls. With early recognition,
this problem could be reduced by simple measure – such
as special pillows designed to support infants’ heads
in the first six months of life. This would reduce the need
for more complex treatment such as moulding helmets and surgery.”

“Positional Plagiocephaly has become very common since the “Back to Sleep” campaign to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It is almost entirely preventable. Paediatricians, Midwives, GPs and Parents need to be educated further to identify those babies at greater risk of developing this condition in the early neonatal period. Some babies’ heads are flattened from labour which may persevere after delivery. However, babies who have perfectly normal posture and normally shaped skulls can also experience the problem, which does not always resolve completely if not treated. Prevention is therefore by far the best option and Goi Goi Baby Pillows play an important part in preventative care”.

“Parents bring their babies to my practice seeking treatment for a variety of ailments, one of the factors I find alarming is the increasing amount of babies who are developing misshapen heads. Also of concern is the apathy of many health professionals who dismiss parents’ anxieties about this subject, erroneously telling them that the abnormal shaping will rectify itself.”
“The real tragedy is that this condition is preventable with the use of specially designed baby pillows and some basic education regarding positioning. To ensure the health and well being of every baby, I believe a pillow is as vital a piece of equipment as a car safety seat. I cannot recommend the Goi Goi pillows and service highly enough.”
