Just wanna check that is it a must for newborn to use pillow? Those pillow center got a hole one. Cos i don't know if i need to stock up pillows for my newborn? Some friends told me that newborn don't need to use pillow at all?
If there's a need to use pillow, then which brand would you recommend? BabySafe 100% Natural Latex?

For newborns, you dont't really need to. But what i did for my dear daughter was to stack a few pieces of folded cloth nappies to put under her head because she spits quite a bit of milk.

Pillows that are too soft may also suffocate bbs. Good to get a sleep positioner though, so that baby is kept in position while asleep.

I got a latex pilow for my dd that I'm now using as a sleep positioner. :p

Don't have to use pillow. Using pillow also very dangerous. Scare at night sleeping no one know anything "touch wood" might happen with the pillow covering the nose.

i do use pillow sumtm, only after he finish his milk..
i will place nt only e head part, but up to chest part onto e pillow, to refrain him from puking milk out.. coz after his milk, and he fall asleep, even though i had burp him, he will still puke out milk if placed on flat surface.
this happen more for my boy in his 1st mth..
for this i use children pillow, those soft types..
i will remove e pillow ard 1 hr later else he will feel hot.

for e one u mention with a hole in e centre, i use occassionally only.
to support his head, else he will slp with head turn to one side, and my mum told me not so gd, as his neck will feel very tired, then will nt slp for long..

in midnight, i let him slp watever pattern he like, then he happy he can slp for long, i aso happy.. haha:tlaugh:

I went for TMC anternal classes, the nurse also say no need pillow for newborn.
Just use nappies and folded and put at the head.

I will rather u stock up on nappies.
My BB use diapers but i still bought 20 pieces of nappies.
Very useful, can use as towel, blanket and to lay on sofa or anywhere u wan to let ur BB lie on but worry is dirty!

I have bought a latex newborn pillow for BB, BabySafe brand and it states that it will prevent flat head and provide optimum neck support. Does it work?

My dd also only used folded nappy as pillow since birth. Tried putting her on the pillow (those with hole) but she moves too much so no use. She still has a nice round head now even though i didn't bother to shift her head for her when she's sleeping.
