Learn how to make a traditional head shaping baby pillow also known as "rai ka thakiya" or mustard seed pillow to prevent plagiocephaly or flat heads in babies.
PREVENT AND FIX FLAT HEADS OR PLAGIOCEPHALY NATURALLY FROM DAY ONE - an ancient hack used across Asia.
From India to the Philippines to China,upon the birth of a baby, a pillow filled with seeds or grain is made. These pillows have been used extensively for hundreds of years to prevent babies from developing a flat head. They work like pliable bean bags that cradle the head in place and help maintain and restore symmetry and alignment.
Known as "rai ka takiya" the FixAFlat baby pillow follows an Indian tradition and uses mustard seeds for the filling as they are believed to offer therapeutic benefits that traditional foam and feather pillows do not. Since ancient times, mustard has been known to ease symptoms of congestion and cold.
Also, unlike pillows with synthetic fillings, our mustard seed pillows, made from one natural ingredient, emit no harmful odors or fumes.
This is important because the air intake of a resting infant is twice that of an adult per pound of body weight. If the air is loaded with volatile organic compounds (toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and dipentene—which are known to have long-term health effects) a baby's exposure will be double that of an adult! This makes the FixAFlatBabyPillow a perfect addition to a non-toxic nursery.
REVIEWS from customers at www.fixaflatbabypillow.com :
"This product was amazing. I have a 6 week baby boy. A few weeks ago I noticed a flat spot on the side of his head. This must have been a result from him favoring the left side of his head while sleeping. Within just a few days of using this product his head has rounded back out. Another unexpected perk has been since the night of using this pillow. He has slept 10 hours straight through the night!!! The fabric is very breathable. I do not have any worries about him suffocating as he is able to turn his head side to side without any problem. i place this under the sheet of his bassinet.I would highly recommend this product. I will be gifting one of these at the next baby shower I attend."
"Love this product. Our daughter loves sleeping on it. The pillow and pillow case are well made. It stays cool, which is perfect to prevent baby from sweating."
"I bought the adult mustard seed pillow, and I love it! It is heavy, which can take some getting used to, but the seeds stay cool while you sleep and conform for great support. I also gave a fix a flat pillow to a co-worker's baby who was going to be fitted for a helmet. After only 1 week of using the pillow, it greatly changed the shape of the baby's skull, so they had to remeasure for the helmet. If only they had used it from the beginning, I think it would have prevented them from having to get a helmet at all. Great job!! Great texture and style on the pillow cases as well."
