In light of Plagiocephaly Awareness Day, I’ve been reviewing a Babymoov Lovenest Original pillow suitable from birth up to 4-6 months old. Positional plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) is diagnosed when a baby’s head is flattened at the back or side. It is caused by pressure on the soft skull bones, which have not yet fused, and become moulded into a different shape. This can occur when an infant spends excessive periods of time lying or resting in the same position on their backs; in pushchairs, car seats, bouncers and cribs.
I had my first encounter with flat head syndrome at Frankie’s six-week check up with the health nurse, completely unaware of the condition and potential problems it could cause I left and purchased clevafoam immediately. After that, I spent months constantly repositioning his head to vary the pressure spots on the skull, thankfully now there are no signs of flat head but it was a constant worry at the time. While the pillow did help I had to replace the casing constantly and found the rise of his neck onto the pillow somewhat uncomfortable looking.
Kadie has a Babymoov Lovenest Original, completely different design, a more comfortable ergonomic design. It features a special incline, to ensure pressure is evenly distributed across babies head, thereby helping maintain the natural curvature of the skull. It’s much prettier too, available in three eye pleasing colours to suit any nursery in a lovely heart shape.

Con’s
- So far so good, I’ve no faults in this product. Maybe they could make an adult size pregnancy moulded one for me, Babymoov could you do that? It’s super-duper soft!
Would I buy a Babymoov Lovenest Original? No, I don’t need to because it comes with a lifetime warranty and will do bump just perfect. I will bring it in my hospital bag and use it from birth.

I received a Babymoov Lovenest Original for the purpose of an honest review.
Such a clever invention! Great all-round review Kellie. Glad you really saw the benefits! x
This looks fab, what a clever little contraption! x
I remember worrying a lot when Bella was small about her getting a flat head so this sounds perfect! xo
This looks really good, we never had anything like this for T, he has a slightly flat head, poor lad. I was told it wasn’t bad though & his was minor. Eeeep.
This looks great, thankfully Toby never got flat head, but then his silent reflux was so bad he couldn’t lay flat so maybe that’s why. Love Babymoov products xx
This is such a clever design. We never had any issues with flathead but we do love Babymoov!x
Ah that’s good to hear, it’s an awful added stress with a newborn x
both my boys had slightly flat heads. I’m gonna book mark this in case we every have another one as it looks like a great product xx
