Singapore's Consumer Safety Watchdog Warns Against Baby Self-Feeding Pillows Due to Choking Risks
Singapore's Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) has issued a safety alert regarding baby self-feeding pillows, which pose significant risks of choking and suffocation. These pillows allow a baby to feed from a bottle without caregiver assistance, but the CPSO warns that babies lack the ability to control the flow of milk, potentially leading to choking or suffocation. The alert follows similar warnings from authorities in Australia, Britain, and the U.S. Despite the risks, these products are still available on platforms like Lazada, although Shopee has removed them. The CPSO advises parents and caregivers to avoid using such products and to supervise babies closely during feeding.
