The Bébécal 'Adjustable' Sleep Positioner from Red Castle (also known as BabyCal)
This classic baby wedge in soft Fleur de Coton® fabric is an ideal positioner for supporting baby either on their back or side. Suitable from birth to approx 6-8 months (depending on the baby's size and ability to move un-aided) The wedge cushions prevent baby from turning over when sleeping.
The Bébécal back and side positioner can be used in your baby’s cot, moses basket or pram.
How does it work?
Position your baby to prevent Flat Head Syndrome
The Bébécal also helps avoid Positional Plagiochephaly, or “flat head syndrome” by ensuring proper sleep rotation, with an easy-to-use positioner for you, and a comforting place to sleep for baby.
Sleep positioners are fantastic for infants with cranial faults or imbalances. If an infant has flattening on one side of the cranium they will continue to sleep on that side as that is where gravity will pull them. Some Chiropractors advise parents to use wedges to prevent the imbalance from becoming permanent. By the age of 3 children have almost an adult skull in terms of sutures, so very difficult to correct at that stage.

The Side Positoners is used for my carry cot. I use a larger one in the cot. But overall the side positioners are useful to prevent flat head. There seem to be lots of products to prevent flat head available to the US market but v. hard to find in the UK.

Hi Rachel, I got the side sleeper in the post this morning and it is brilliant. He’s already had his first nap in it and he slept longer than usual and very comfortably.
Thank you for sending it so quickly.
