Of course, when plagiocephaly is preventable:

The first three months of life:

 - completely and strictly avoid using a stroller => replace with carrying

 

 
- Use a deckchair less than 10 minutes/half day

 

  - No Doomoo, soft mattress, swing, baby wedge, anti-flat head cushion

 

 - Use a firm mattress for naps and nighttime:

Cosme Bedding type: this baby mattress is designed to have the necessary firmness adapted to the age of the baby: one side for the 1st year and one side for 1 to 5 years. (mattress designed by a psychomotrician, Brand Cosme-literie.com     COUPON code MAPETITELAINE5)

 

 

Then, it is daytime mobility which will promote nighttime mobility and thus avoid flattening of the skull (brachycephaly and plagiocephaly).

 Work on daily belly-to-back and back-to-belly twists daily.

 

 
Several tummy  time sessions/day

 

  Leg flexion/pedal boat sessions to promote flexion and therefore head mobility

 

  Using the Ma Petite Laine birth cocoon allows baby to sleep on his back but with his legs raised, which promotes bending and therefore mobility for the baby and his head.

 

 

It is important that baby is free to bend his body so that he does not tend to push backwards and therefore on his head when sleeping. It is a major factor in rapid flattening of the skull in the first months of life (first 4 months).
