Anyone use one of these? I am a first time (paranoid) Mommy and I am convinced DD is getting a slight flat spot on the back of her head.
We do tummy time and I try to keep her off her back as much as possible during the day. I think she is going through a growth spurt right now because all she wants to do is sleep (and back is best!). She naps in her swing or on the couch during the day, I was thinking this head support would be good for daytime use . . . any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated!
TIA!!

I just ordered one of these because our DD has a slight flat spot. I mentioned it at her 2 month appointment her doctor didn't seem concerned at all. We are pretty sure it was caused by the hardness of the FP Rock N Play that she had been sleeping in since birth and the fact that she likes to turn her head the same exact way every time she sleeps. We switched her to sleep in the Pack n Play, which seems much softer and we are going to transition to crib soon. DD still sleeps a lot during the day, and she loves napping in her bouncer, so I ordered one of these and I hope it helps!
I don't get the "tummy time will prevent a flat spot" philosophy. Even if you give 1 hour of tummy time throughout the day, that is nothing compared to the amount of time they sleep on their backs. I try to keep her off the back of her head as much as possible during the day by letting her sleep on me, nap on her side (supervised), and I put her in the ERGO a lot to all to give the back of her head a rest!
