Patent ID: 8758283

Claim:
A method for treating posterior plagiocephaly in an infant's head comprising: a) providing a bed comprising a base substrate having fixed dimensions and configuration; an anatomically correcting concave head cavity molded into said base substrate able to receive and support the occiput of an infant's head; a plurality of discrete layers of foam material serving as a series of prepared individual layers positioned one over the other as multiple strata in overlay array series within the molded spatial volume of said concave head cavity, said layers being individually removable at will from the positioned overlay series lying within the spatial volume of said head cavity, and, via their presence within said concave head cavity, can alter the available spatial volume presented by said concave head cavity for the occiput of an infant's head; and b) placing an infant into said bed, wherein said infant is up to 4 months in age and has occipital flattening, such that said infant's head contacts said concave head cavity, resulting in progressive normalizing and rounding of said infant's head.
