SINGAPORE – Parents and caregivers who have bought a type of pillow that enables a baby to self-feed from a bottle should stop using the product immediately, said Singapore’s consumer safety watchdog.
In a safety alert on April 7, the Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) said these self-feeding pillows pose serious risks of choking and suffocation to babies.
In photos of the products included in the alert, a baby can be seen lying on a pillow that wraps around the neck.
The front portion of the pillow, laid on the baby’s chest, has a pouch to which a bottle can be attached, allowing the baby to feed from the bottle without help from a caregiver.
