Dear parents, any parents here use Dimple Pillow on their Newborn ? (1 - 2 weeks old)

I accidentally bought a Dimple Pillow (before baby was born) because the shop recommended it.

But now after baby is born, whenever I ask any doctor or nurse during check-up sessions , they always have quite big reactions saying to don't use any pillows , even dimple pillow ..

Quite confused Should I use or not ? I'm just worried of my baby having flat head , because she mostly sleep turning her head to the right side.

Thanks for your kind advice 🙏

Hi, anyone can kindly help? 🙌

I don't think it is matter with pillow or not. Just don't have the pillow too high.

A bit late reply. We too bought the dimple pillow to prevent flathead syndrome (overworried 1st time parents who wants to spend some money, haha).
However, my son doesn't like it and he doesn't stay "in" it. He would eventually move about a little and wiggle his way out of the pillow. Initially I will put his head back inside if I noticed he is out but sometimes it will accidentally trigger him to wake up. We don't enjoy the experience of a baby who got his sleep disturbed so we eventually stopped lifting his head back inside and moved on using a thin memory foam-like pillow. He likes that a little better but even so, he moves about when he is sleeping and started to enjoy side sleeping, then no more lor. The pillow is there in the middle but he rolls and side sleep at the sides (not on the pillow).

Now the back of his head is not the roundest but maybe him napping in the craddle/sarong helps to round the back of his head more.

my twins slept in DockATots until they r 10 months..
no pillow.. n blankets r tucked in.. takut SIDS..

now 3yrs they like to sleep on a pile of dolls and pillows and i don care lol

no flat head problem...

well i bought dimple pillow for 1st kid 11yrs ago.(well excited then)

thinking back, i dont find any benefit or difference.
do you feel ur affected those years when growing up w/o these pillows?

my SIL bought one for her baby, but my niece prefer to sleep in head-down position, but we always check on her la of coz

the pillow, is useless in our case

i just check on this DockATots , wow me with the hefty price tag

your twins must be adorable..
