Mimos - Flat Head Prevention Pillow
* Pillow case sold separately *
MIMOS PILLOW is a tridimensional polyester pillow which designed specially by doctors, neurosurgeon and physiotherapist to reduce the pressure under the head.
This allows the head to grow normally and round out to its natural shape. It is very effective when used before 6 months of age. It is recommended to use the pillow for prevention from the very first day of life.
This new innovative baby pillow with combined features of effective reduction of pressure, safety, comfort and hygiene.

Why Mimos Pillow is Very Effective?
MIMOS PILLOW support baby’s soft skull during sleeping or when baby is laying on a hard or flat surface such as mattress or in a stroller. The pillow adapts to any head shape and therefore is not necessary to counter-rotate or reposition the head as usually recommended by doctors before the existence of MIMOSPILLOW.
As long as the head rests on the pillow cavity, the pressure spots are eliminated and the head can be round out.
MIMOS PILLOW redistributes the weight of baby’s head onto a bigger surface area therefore it will avoid constant high pressure spot that produce skull flattening over time.

There is 400% more surface area of contact in the case of the Mimos baby pillow compared to a standard mattress. Mimos baby pillow effectively reduces pressure on the baby's head and it is good for prevention of flat head syndrome (positional plagiocephaly).
Mimos Pillow also effectively preserves the normal head shape (balloon demonstration). On the other hand the high pressure on the standard mattress produces flat spot.
MIMOS PILLOW is the only medical pillow with safety certification from established certification body in the world;
MIMOS PILLOW the only medical baby pillow recommended by more than 1000 pediatric doctor, physiotherapist, neurosurgeon and midwife around the world
The Right Size of Pillow for The Right Age Baby
MIMOS PILLOW comes in 4 different sizes for every stage of baby’s growth: neck length and head size.
Please see below table:
The pillow can be used as itself or with a special cover made of 100%breathable cotton fabric for safety reason don’t use any other fabric to cover the pillow. The pillow is machine washable. Please read the washing instructions on the label.

Flat Head Syndrome
What is Flat Head (Positional Skull Deformities)
is the flattening of one or both sides of the head due to constant pressure on the skull.
It happens very quickly, especially in the first 3 months of life when the skull is still malleable and the head and brain are growing very fast.
During this time, baby spends long hours sleeping and lying on his back.
If baby’s head stays in the same position for long periods of time, with specific areas lying against a flat surface, then those parts of his skull may become flattened.
The positioning of the baby’s head is one of the main reasons for the appearance of these deformities
What causes a Flat Head?
Constant Positioning
When babies lying on their back with their head stay or turn to the same position constantly. E.g. in a pram, car seat, baby rocker, swing or activity mat.
Premature Baby
The skull of the premature infant is softer than a full term born baby.
They are more prone to positional plagiocephaly since they spend most of the time on their backs without being moved or picked up due to their medical needs and extreme fragility after birth.
Tortociolis (Wryneck)
is a "twisted neck”, a condition when the head is tilted to one side while the chin is turned to the other side. It is also called wryneck.
The symptom can be detected during first 2-4 weeks.
Multiple Births
Why is it a Problem?
In recent years, clinical studies have been done to investigate what long term effects might be associated with a diagnosis of head flattening and/or torticollis. More studies are being done to get more data and information, but current literature gives evidence that infant with plagiocephaly and/or torticollis may have other associated problems such as:

Facial Asymmetry and Skull Shape Deformation
If baby flat head (deformational plagiocephaly) is not corrected early these undesirable craniofacial characteristics may grow into adulthood.
In the moderate to severe cases, there may be
Does it Affect Brain Development?
An important study by Speltz and Collett, published in 2010 concluded that “Deformational plagiocephaly seems to be associated with early neurodevelopmental disadvantage, which is most evident in motor functions” This was followed up with their most recent study, which was published 2011 in July that stated ‘Toddlers with deformational plagiocephaly continue to exhibit developmental delays relative to toddlers without deformational plagiocephaly’.
