Does Pillow With Mustard Seed Prevent Flat-head Formation In A Newborn?
Question: I heard we need to use pillow with mustard seed for new born baby to avoid flat head . .. I want to know if it's really useful or its a myth
Brief Answer:
Not mandatory but not a myth
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. A pillow made from mustard seeds acts like a memory foam and adapts to the shape of the head. It can partially be helpful. It is not a myth and partially helps. Nevertheless, it is not mandatory either.
Let me know if I could help further.
