HEADwedge - to be used together with the Sleepwrap — Wed, 07 Jul 10 11:33:56 +1200

100% cotton cover over triangle foam strip. Helps ensure nice head shape & normal brain development. Unisex all white with white trim.

'The younger the baby, the softer the head'

The little Safe T Sleep HEADwedge assists parents and caregivers to help position baby's head on alternate sides.

This helps prevent Positional Plagiocphaly flat (deformed) heads, which is an on-going worldwide concern. See http://www.safetsleep.com/images/library/pdf/addresses_flat_head.pdf

Globally approximately 40% of flat deformed heads DO NOT self-correct despite all efforts. This is a very significant statistic and causes much unnecessary trauma. Sometimes the problems are cosmetic and/or involve brain impairment.

The American Association of Paediatrics estimates over 40% never self correct and that over 10% globally need surgery!

* Use the HEADwedge tucked WELL underneath the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap on alternate side of baby’s head at each sleep. See picture below.

For hundreds and thousands of years it has been well known in most cultures that ‘the younger the baby, the softer the head’.

“There is a worldwide surge in these flat and deformed heads” according to a well known Canadian craniofacial/plastic surgeon, Dr Tristan de Chalain. http://www.nzma.org.nz/journal/116-1181/581/ Since the 'back sleeping' position was introduced hospital admissions for specific skull deformities have increased by well over 300%. Frequent head turning and tummy time does reduce the likelihood but still some babies prefer one particular spot to sleep on. Well over 30%! of all cases do NOT ever come right, i.e. return to an acceptable shape. Despite various recommendations many babies require helmet therapy! Approximately 4.2% globally need corrective surgery."

Dear Miriam
Happy New Year. I am so sorry I haven’t spoken to you for so long, the time seems to have flown by.

Well, I have finally got around to sending back your questionnaire which I filled out 2 months ago. I also have the measurements of my shrunk Safe T Sleep (after putting it in the dryer) to compare with the new one’s size.

Madison is now 10 months old and her head shape is so improved no one can believe the speed with which it improved. Tristan de Chalain at Middlemore Hospital Plagiocephaly Clinic has now discharged her since she is symmetrical again. I will still keep her on her side all the time when I can but she can now roll over and likes her tummy during the day sleeps. Also she is 95% close to opening up the Safe T Sleep but it is holding firm so far.

The whole situation was so stressful for me and I really got very down about it thinking she would never come right. Thank you so much for all your help and support and thank you for Safe T Sleep without which Madison would look like a book-end forever.

I will be promoting it wherever and whenever I can and am more than happy to help wherever I can especially if other Mothers need someone to talk to like I did. Feel free to give anyone my phone number. If you need any help please feel free to ask me and wherever possible I will be glad to support you and Safe T Sleep.

With a willful child like Madison my success came by using the STS with 4 rolled up towels to hold her on her side. I never liked the safety pin as you know, but I didn’t need it if I used the towels. I still use this method now and will for a while longer. I think the leg-piece is a great option but needs to be trialed on a much younger baby as Madison forces her way through and ends up in a tight predicament. However for children not required to lie on their sides (eg: children who naturally turn their heads) it would be brilliant!

Well again thank you so much for everything. I don’t know if I would have had nearly as much success without your support. I hope we can meet again as I sincerely would like to be involved with helping people with the ‘flat-head’ problem, and Safe T Sleep is the ‘key’ to curing it.

Kindest regards,

Anna Pearce

Advantages of Safe T Sleep

As we all know with the introduction of our new family members comes the influx of baby paraphernalia!

For me I travel light at the best of times so you can imagine my horror when attempting to leave the house with baby and all the gear in tow. Yuk!

Safe T Sleep has been one of the most valuable and sensible purchases I made, it not only allows me to travel without a portable cot for weekend trips but provides flexibility when out just for the day.

The simplicity of the product allows the Safe T Sleep to be used either around a single bed mattress or on the cushion seat of a couch.

My child finds Safe T Sleep not at all restricting and due to her familiarity with the product will settle into her afternoon sleep without any problems no matter the environment she is in.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Safe T Sleep as one of the must have products due to the flexibility and peace of mind it offers parents.

Happy marketing such a wonderful product!

Dear Miriam

I am writing to you to express how fantastic I think the Safe T Sleepwrap product is. We started using the Safe T Sleep Wrap on our baby boy from the first day he was home from the hospital. Jackson felt snug as he was wrapped up in his blanket then the Safe T Sleep wrap around his waist so he slept more soundly. I also had control over what side he was to sleep on and was able to alternate sides after each feed so he didn’t get a misshapen head. He is now 4 months old and very active. One day I just laid him in his cot so I could hang out the washing, I didn’t wrap him in his Safe T Sleep. When I came back after 10 minutes he had turned himself completely around so his head was where is feet were and is feet where his head was. Jackson sleeps all through the night so I don’t need to get up to him and if I wasn’t using the Safe T Sleepwrap and this happened he would have suffocated under his blankets or even woken up with his arms or legs jammed in the slats of the cot. The Safe T Sleepwraps are a fabulous product with definite peace of mind that you know your baby isn’t going to move around in the cot and get hurt. Even with living on the Gold Coast when it can get extremely hot in the summer months, the Safe T Sleepwrap doesn’t make Jackson sweat, I just sleep him in a singlet and nappy and then put the wrap around his waist and he is snug and secure and don’t need to use a sheet to tuck him in. He also has the freedom to move his arms and legs around and isn’t restricted with anything around him.

Thank you for introducing the product to me and will be using it again when I have another baby.
