Flat Spots & Torticollis

By three months, flat spots affect nearly 50% of babies born in the U.S today. Flat Head Syndrome forms from too much time laying on one spot of the head. Babies are typically at risk within the first six months of their life, and if left untreated, become susceptible to future health risks. Tortle provides your baby with preventative and corrective care.

Babies who develop Torticollis do so by laying their heads too long in one position, resulting in unbalanced neck muscles. This can often require costly physical therapy visits to overcome. The Tortle gently encourages babies to turn their heads to different sides, helping to avoid the problem even before it begins.

Tortle Talk — See What Parents Are Saying

“My son has severe torticollis and flattening of the right side of his head because of it. This helps him straighten his head. It works great.”

Jen

“My twin boys both had flat spots on their heads from always sleeping on one side. I bought this beanie and within a week I could already tell a huge difference. It’s almost back to normal. I love this product!!”

Alyssa

“This thing is a life saver!!!! I will forever be grateful I found it! Probably saved me lots of money in physical therapy and anxiety.”

“Our Pediatrician advised me to get it as my daughter's head was starting to flatten on one side. She wore this for a couple of weeks and then no longer needed it as she was actively moving her head in every direction. She did fuss a lot with it, especially at first and then just because she wasn’t able to move her head to the direction she wanted. Would definitely get it again if I needed to. We got the medium size and my baby was about 2 months at the time.”

“When I had my pediatrician look at the flat spot, she recommended the tortle cap and I am so glad she did. Have been using it for about 1 week now and already see a big difference, head is slowly correcting itself. It’s an easy fix and better to do early on before it gets worse/more serious.” 

The Tale of Tortle

It begins with a simple question—How can we help more babies?

FDA Advises Parents Not to Use Head Shaping Pillows While Tortle Beanies Stay Safe

On November 3, 2022, the U.S. Drug and Food Administration (FDA) issued a warning advising parents not to use infant head shaping pillows. Tortle Corrective Beanies, on the other hand, remain a safe and effective method for correcting infant head shapes.

Having been cleared and categorized by the FDA as a Class-I Medical Device—completely separate from head shaping pillows—the Tortle Lucky Elephant (available in Medium and Large sizes) is not classified as a hat, but a cap device—a different category, cleared by the FDA.
