Why is Tortle Important?·         Every infant is at risk of developing Flathead Syndrome-prevention is key.
·         If parents do not actively re-position the infant’s head from side to side, positional plagiocephaly and/or torticollis progress rapidly – many infants already have a significant problem by 2 months of age.
·         Incidence of plagiocephaly is increasing and now affects nearly 48% or
1 out of 2 babies by the age of 5 months.·         Premature infants with prolonged hospital stays, and multiples (twins or triplets) are at particular risk unless nursing programs address the problem.
·         Medical treatments to correct the condition include physical therapy and custom helmets and may exceed $5,000 in cost.

Tortle was developed by Dr. Jane, a Board Certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist- You can read more about her below and on the website.

Dr. Jane’s blended practice of Neonatology and Pediatrics encompasses children from newborns through adolescents, allowing her to follow and care for her patients from infancy through the teen years.  Over the years, Dr. Jane became acutely aware of an increase in Plagiocephaly and Torticollis - Flathead Syndrome – as she observed the overwhelming incidence and progression of Flathead Syndrome in her patients.   Plagiocephaly is a flattening of the baby’s skull and Torticollis refers to unbalanced neck muscles.  Dr. Jane counseled and educated parents to help prevent as well as treat the many problems associated with Flathead Syndrome, which include sight and hearing abnormalities, as well as cognitive and motor delays in babies.   After years of research and development, she invented the Tortle, an FDA cleared, stylish knit beanie designed to provide a cost effective and simple solution to prevent Flathead Syndrome in babies 0-6 months of age.
