Parents told to stop using baby self-feeding pillows
The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued an Urgent Safety Alert for baby self-feeding pillows and is urging the public to stop using them immediately and dispose of them.
Self-feeding pillow products are designed to be attached to a bottle so that the baby may be positioned on its back to self-feed without the assistance of a caregiver.
This is inconsistent with NHS guidance in relation to safe bottle feeding and, even while used under supervision of a caregiver, can lead to serious harm or death from choking or aspiration pneumonia.
