Questions parents ask about products
Answers come from each maker's published specs. Safety and health questions link to the agency or medical source.
Can babies sleep on a twin nursing pillow?
Safe sleep: see the AAP's guide to safe sleep and NICHD Safe to Sleep. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
How do families get adaptive equipment covered?
Medicaid covers medically necessary equipment for children under 21 (the EPSDT benefit), and private plans often cover it too. You'll usually need a prescription and a letter of medical necessity from your child's doctor or therapist, and a medical equipment dealer handles the order.
What should I know about car seats for preemies?
Car seat use and installation: see NHTSA's car seat page, which also lists free car seat inspection by certified technicians. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
Where can I buy preemie diapers?
Preemie sizes run by weight. Hospital-only diaper sizes (such as Pampers Pxxs to Ps and Huggies Nano and Micro Preemie) aren't sold in stores; only the under-6 lb size is.
Is it OK to prop a bottle?
Feeding: see the AAP's Starting Solid Foods page and the CDC's bottle and formula page. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
