If you've just had your baby, these two products probably sound completely foreign to you. We usually have everything ready for when the time comes: clothes, toys, the crib... But there are other products, perhaps less known but very useful, that you should consider buying. Below, we tell you everything you need to know about the anti-reflux wedge and the plagiocephaly pillow.
A baby's sleep is key to their development during the first months. Their brain, central nervous system, lungs, and thermoregulatory system are not yet fully developed. Therefore, during this stage, when the baby will spend up to 70% of their life sleeping and lying down, it is very important that we help them with their rest.
30% of children who have some type of problem or disorder throughout their development is due to poor sleep quality.
- Plagiocephaly is a very common craniofacial anomaly that consists of a flattening of the baby's head. It does not affect their intellectual development, but it is recommended to prevent it from the beginning due to the aesthetic problems it entails. The best practice to prevent or treat plagiocephaly is by using a plagiocephaly pillow. This pillow is ideal for babies from 0 to 12 months and its function is to prevent excessive pressure on the skull when lying down.
- Infant colic is another of the most frequent disorders in a baby's first months. A baby who cries for no apparent reason, pulls their legs to their abdomen, clenches their fists, and turns very red... Does that sound familiar? These are the typical symptoms of colic and usually occur in the late afternoon or evening, causing us a lot of distress and frustration as parents. Multiple studies conclude that it is due to the baby's digestive system not being fully developed, which is why the use of an anti-reflux wedge is essential. At Petite Marmotte, we have the ideal solution for this problem:
Features:
- Our anti-reflux wedge is ideal for babies suffering from reflux, infant colic, or who are constipated and need an incline to breathe better.
- You can use it from birth by placing the wedge under their crib or nest, and later under their bed.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.

They say it's better to prevent than to cure, right? I would tell you, that yes, absolutely. They help prevent possible bone deformities, in addition to helping them achieve quality sleep.

Our anti-reflux wedge and plagiocephaly pillow are highly recommended by pediatricians and neonatologists and allow for effective and lasting rest.
