It is one month after using mimos pillow for didi’s plagiocephaly. Time for a quick review!
Sometimes he will roll out of the pillow when falling asleep but thankfully he is able to sleep on it most of the time.
I still try to reposition him although mimos website said it is not needed. But even if he is sleeping on his flat side, I’m not so worried as the pillow helps to spread the pressure evenly (used to sleep late cause I’d reposition him after he slept).
Physically, we don’t see much improvement except it is less pointy at the back. But I am so glad that it isn’t worsening! 😌Went to the orthotist two days back and his plagio measurement has decreased from 14 to 13mm (0mm is a perfect round head). Yay! 🤩Which means the pillow has helped to correct 1 mm!🥳🤩
I wasn’t hoping for major correction and was just praying that it will not get worse while we wait for the helmet to be ready.
So yep, money well spent!😀 Another one more week of mimos pillow before he starts wearing helmet.

hi, which mimos pillow size did you use for 4+ month baby? Looks like the XXL / M size has long neck part (and the hole looks like in the center of the pillow vertically) compared to XL / S size. Thanks.

Hi Abby. I think the pillow is worth trying if baby can’t turn around yet as it can prevent from further worsening. We went subsidised route to TTSH so could not choose the orthotist. We were assigned Mr Murakami. You can request KKH to refer to TTSH orthotist to check the severity of the flat head. Alternatively can try private clinic where they have free one time consultation. All the best. ◡̈

Hi! Thanks for sharing, my daughter is 2 mths old and she has left torticollis ): was also wondering if the pillow is worth buying. Can I check which orthotist you visit? As we are currently following up in KKH and the physiotherapist said she has mild flat head but it seems to be getting worse ):
