@everyday.ot.mom: Things I wouldn’t buy as a crunchy mom + OT 🤍 Those little head-shaping pillows marketed to prevent flat spots on babies’ heads? I’d skip them. The FDA warns against using infant head-shaping pillows because their benefits haven’t been demonstrated and they can create an unsafe sleep environment. ✨ What I’d focus on instead: • Safe sleep on a firm, flat surface with baby placed on their back • Supervised tummy time while baby is awake • Varying positions throughout the day while baby is awake • Talking to your pediatrician if you notice persistent flattening or a preference for turning their head one way Not every baby product marketed as a must-have is actually necessary. Sometimes the simplest approach is best. 🤍 Save this for your baby registry & send it to an expecting mom!
