Product: Tortle Lucky Elephant Adjustable Repositioning Beanie, Corrective for Flat Head Syndrome (Medium)
Brand: Tortle
Color: Blue Green White
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.
PREVENT & CORRECT FLAT SPOTS: Tortle is the low-cost, active solution to an epidemic among infants — flat head syndrome. The repositioning beanie is designed to help correct and prevent flat head and its associated medical problems. This device expertly provides your baby with repositioning care and support so that they will have the best chance of healthy development.
HOW TO USE: Simply slip the beanie onto your baby’s head with the roll placed between the back of the head and one of baby’s ears, and fasten the hook-and-loop opening on the front. Next, adjust the side elastic straps by pulling them forward and securing them in place. With the help of the straps and the non-slip-grip silicone dots, the cap will stay in place.
SIZING: This innovative cap comes in 2 convenient sizes: medium and large. The medium is for children with a head circumference of 15” to 16.5” (usually 2-4 months old), and the large is for children with a head circumference of 16.5” to 18” (usually 4-6 months old). It takes time for the baby to become familiar with the product. Respositing the head will help to overcome the problem but they will often experience some initial discomfort. THIS MEANS ITS WORKING!
REPOSITIONING TECHNIQUES: There are a variety of repositioning techniques you can use along with this corrector beanie for quicker results. Consider alternating where you place their head each night. You can also move your newborn’s crib to different parts of the room. Placing a mobile in different places on and around the crib may also help so they won’t rest their head in the same position.
TORTLE: As a mother and a doctor, Tortle’s creator, Dr. Jane Scott, knows that new parents have enough to worry about — Dr. Jane herself is a mother of four! She knows first-hand the fear that permeates the parenting experience, which is why she set out to design a device that would help relieve some new-parent worry and promote health and wellbeing in new babies.
