Every baby is at risk of developing Flat Head Syndrome; one out of two babies is diagnosed diagnosed with the Syndrome. Through availability at Target.com, Tortle will have an opportunity to further increase awareness of Flat Head Syndrome and the ease in which it can be prevented or treated!
Plagiocephaly and Torticollis (or Flathead syndrome) has increased to epidemic proportions since 1992. More than a million babies are diagnosed with the condition each year in the U.S. alone. Because of the "Back to Sleep" changes that help to prevent SIDS, more babies are developing flat spots due to the time on their backs. If left untreated, Flat Head Syndrom can cause a vast array of problems. Treatment is usually expensive and can be somewhat uncomfortable for a baby. Plagiocephaly and Torticollis are almost 100% preventable with repositioning - and Tortle makes this safe and easy! It is recommended that all newborns wear a Tortle for the first 6 months of life to support healthy development.
