CradlePod Head Shaping Pillow
CradlePod is a pillow that helps your baby rest in a natural, centred and well-supported position, reducing pressure on one spot of the head. Its contoured shape keeps your baby comfortably in place during supervised rest, play and after feeds.
Soft, breathable materials and the head-shaping zone spread weight evenly across the back of the head, helping reduce the formation of flat spots in the first months. The cover is removable and washable, so the pillow is easy to keep clean.

The 4am reality
Does any of this sound familiar?
The first months are exhausting. These are the moments parents tell us about most.
Unsettled after every feed
Lying flat, they spit up, cry and are hard to soothe.
Constantly repositioning
They slide off a plain wedge or always turn to the same side.
Worried about head shape
You have noticed one side flattening and wonder if you are doing enough.
No calm moment for you
Between settling and hovering, even two minutes to breathe feels impossible.
None of this means you are doing it wrong. Usually your baby just needs a little support to rest comfortably and centred – that is what CradlePod is made for.

A gentle 15° incline
Gentle elevation that helps them settle
Many babies get restless lying completely flat. CradlePod gently raises the upper body while the contoured head area keeps the head centred – so resting after feeds is more comfortable and the head does not always turn the same way.

- ✓Stays in placeThe positioner and strap keep baby from sliding down.

FAQ
The questions worth asking
When should I use CradlePod?
In the daytime moments that are hardest: after feeds, during supervised naps, and for play and rest while you are right there with your baby.
Can I use it for overnight sleep?
No. CradlePod is only for awake, supervised rest and play. For overnight or unsupervised sleep, always use a firm, flat mattress in the cot, following safe-sleep guidelines.
Does it help with flat spots?
Flat spots form where the head always rests on the same point. The contoured head area spreads pressure more evenly during supervised rest. It is a helpful aid, not a medical treatment – if you are worried, ask your health visitor or paediatrician.
Until what age can I use it?
From newborn until your baby starts rolling or climbing out. Once they begin to roll, stop using it.
How do I wash it?
The cover is removable and can be washed cold, then air-dried.
What if it does not work for us?
Every order is covered by our 30-day guarantee. Give your baby a few days to get used to it. If it is still not right, message us and we will help.
