Newborn babies are at risk of developing flat areas on their head, this is due to sleeping on a flat hard surface hence their weight is not being evenly distributed. Within the Natures Nest your baby will sleep in a slightly upright position distributing babies head weight more evenly to the rest of the body, reducing the problems of  Flat Head. Although this is seen to be purely cosmetic their has been growing evidence that it can lead to problems with chewing and visual difficulties.

We are celebrating 5 years of the Natures Nest being in the UK and 
supporting Plagiocephaly Awareness week (Flathead Syndrome) which is taking  place from
the 12th-19th August 2007 _http://www.plagiocephalycare.org/_

Please visit the above site for more information on this subject.

The Natures Nest is creditable for assisting with the symptoms of Flathead, 
due to the increase since the back to sleep campaign and for easing  colic and
reflux which can result in a very unhappy baby and sleep depravation  for
parents (http://www.ambyhammock.co.uk/)  Thousands of parents are still
 unaware of the many benefits this award winning bed provides.
Help us raise awareness of repositioning techniques and tummy time as  babies
have to wear helmets for up to 23 hours per day if they are showing signs of Plagiocephaly.
