Plagiocephaly is an asymmetry in the deformation of a young child's skull, which typically occurs due to constant pressure on a specific point of the head. It can arise from repetitive positions in which the infant holds its head, either in the womb or after birth, such as when the baby always sleeps on the same side or is held in the same position for long periods.
To prevent plagiocephaly in newborns, parents and caregivers can take several measures:
- Variety of positions: Frequently changing the baby's position during sleep and when awake can help avoid constant pressure on one side of the head.
- Tummy time: Encouraging tummy time when the baby is awake and supervised helps develop neck muscles and prevents pressure on the back of the head.
- Changing positions in the crib: Alternating the position of the baby's head in the crib (for example, turning the head towards one end of the crib one night and the other end the next) can reduce the risk of plagiocephaly.
- Use of appropriate devices: Using specially designed pillows to prevent plagiocephaly, such as the FiGGA® Baby pillow.
The FiGGA® Baby pillow is recommended for the prevention and treatment of plagiocephaly due to the following features:
- Anatomical design: The pillow is designed to evenly distribute pressure on the surface of the baby's head, preventing deformities.
- Memory foam: The memory foam adapts to the shape of the baby's head, providing suitable support and comfort.
- Safe and comfortable materials: The pillow is made from baby-safe materials that allow airflow and reduce the risk of overheating.
- Removable soft velvet cover: The soft and pleasant-to-the-touch cover is easy to remove and clean, ensuring a healthy and comfortable environment for the baby.
Recommended from 0+ months: Ideal for use immediately after birth, effectively supporting the baby's head and neck.
The use of such a pillow can help maintain the correct shape of the baby's head and prevent plagiocephaly, thus contributing to healthy development.
The FiGGA® Baby pillow is specifically designed to support the proper development of the baby's head, preventing and correcting plagiocephaly. It is made from memory foam, providing optimal support and unparalleled comfort for babies from their first days of life.

Care Instructions for the FiGGA® Baby Pillow: To ensure the longevity and quality of the pillow, it is important to follow the care instructions below:
- Pillow washing: Temperature: Wash the pillow at low temperatures, up to 30°C.
- Drying: Since the pillow is made from memory foam, after washing, it will require a longer drying time of up to 7 days. It is important to allow the pillow to dry completely to avoid mold or unpleasant odors.
- Washing the removable cover: The removable cover can be machine washed at temperatures up to 40°C.
