Tortle now available at target! + a Tortle #Giveaway!

When I had my first baby, I remember her pediatrician specifically stating that although it was best to have baby on her back for sleeping, it was just as important to lay her on her side to prevent flat head syndrome. Being that babies heads are so soft during birth, it is not uncommon to develop flat spots from laying down in certain positions too long. To prevent flat head syndrome, which is so common, 1 out of every 2 babies develop it, the makers of the Tortle have created a product that may help prevent flat head syndrome.

The Tortle is a uniquely designed head piece that comes in three designs. Now that the Tortle is available at Target, it is much easier to get your hands on one! It retails for $19.99 and can be found in Blue Elephant, Pink Flowers and Solid White in medium and large sizes.

Developed by Dr. Jane Scott, a Board Certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist, the Tortle beanie is an FDA-cleared patented Class 1 medical device that promotes proper head and neck movement which is essential for appropriate development. Tortle helps prevent and treat early stages of flat head syndrome: plagiocephaly (the flattening of the baby’s skull) & torticollis (unbalanced neck muscles). Tortle works by gently deflecting a baby’s head from side to side when they are sitting or lying on the back of their head. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends regular head repositioning of babies younger than six months.

Whether you are welcoming a new baby into your home or you are attending a baby shower, the Tortle is a great item that would get some use the first few weeks of your new baby’s life!
