It is better to select a pillow size which is large enough so that a baby can roll over it. If you are buying a pillow with wedge supports then go for adjustable wedge supports because you can adjust them according to your requirement. Place your baby in the center of the pillow for more effective results and safety.

Most baby sleep pillows are much smaller than regular pillows. Babies have very soft heads and this needs proper support. Avoid using feather pillows since these are too pliable to be of any value and may sometimes even cause allergies in a vulnerable child. Feather pillows are also known to cause smothering as the head of the child sinks into the pillow while he is sleeping. In some cases, babies are known to develop a flat head because of the continued sleeping on their backs.
