Your baby's first pillow
Trying to figure out the culprit behind your baby's fussiness can prove to be one of the most frustrating tasks around. There are a ton of products out there that try to remedy the crying and overall miserableness (ie the pacifier, swings, teething toys). Now there's an ergonomic head-support pillow, that aims to provide some much needed relief. When her infant son was in a constant state of discomfort, the founder of Baby Elephant Ears, took him to a number of specialists, including a chiropractor, who explained the root of the fussiness was most likely due to neck strain the baby suffered during labor. So she created this unusual looking pillow to aided in proper head, neck and back alignment for babies. Baby Elephant Ears (look at the picture and you'll understand the name) comes in all sorts of fun fabrics and is perfect for making car seats, strollers, swings and changing tables comfier for our little ones. It's important to note that the pillow is not to be used in the crib, and of course, some parents are concerned about accessories with infant seats in the car--that's your call, but we don't see any problems with it. Even though it's tough to know the exact reason why our baby's fuss, I'm all for making the little beans as comfy as possible. Which is why I plan on using Baby Elephant Ears in May, when my my bun makes his debut. -Melissa Find these smart head positioners for babies online at Baby Elephant Ears
