Best Flat Caps

The Tortle is a head repositioning beanie that can help prevent flat head syndrome and alleviate associated symptoms should your baby girl or boy already have this condition. This is an effective method that helps to actively shape your baby's head as you both go about your day by providing an unparalleled consistency of care for 0 - 6-month-old babies that pillows and other techniques cannot provide. This head-shaping device can be used to help correct pre-existing conditions or to help prevent conditions from developing. Using it as a preventative measure early may help you to avoid using an orthotic helmet in some cases. We designed it from a comfortable cotton-lycra fabric material with an adorable elephant pattern that is machine washable for convenience. For sizing, be sure to measure your child's head before ordering to ensure you get the correct size. If your baby's head is close to 16" we recommend you size up, as babies heads grow so quickly. Alternate the placement of the roll so that the roll moves from side to side each time you place them on a firm surface such as a crib, car seat, stroller or bouncer. Place it on your developing baby's head at different intervals during the day, like while they nap or travel in their car seat on short trips. We do not recommend you leave this padded head-positioning cap on your baby all day or night. In fact, it is most effective when you regularly adjust and change the location of the concave foam positioning roll. It is important to note that this head repositioning may cause your child to complain at first. As a result, they may become slightly fussy. Wait out this adjustment period as your child gets used to it. In addition to using this positioning aid, you can also try repositioning techniques to help counteract or prevent torticollis and plagiocephaly. Try Tortle to help prevent and avoid running into complications caused by flat head syndrome.
