A comfortable pillow can not only let the baby sleep well, but also play a role in protecting the baby’s cervical spine. But the bones of small babies are very soft and delicate, the brain develops quickly, the head is relatively heavy, in the choice of pillow must pay special attention to the pillow is not chosen well may lead to deformation of the baby’s head. Today I’ll share with you mothers to choose a pillow for the baby knowledge: a. How old can the baby use a pillow? Within 3 months of the newborn does not need a pillow, newborns lying down when sleeping back, head back of the head at the same level, the neck and back muscles naturally relaxed, prematurely to the newborn using a pillow will affect the baby’s head and neck development. And the newborn’s head is relatively large, almost the same width as the shoulders, lying on its side is also very natural, no need to use pillows. 3 to 7 months old baby began to learn to lift the head, the crest and neck segment appeared forward physiological curvature, this time the mother can give the baby with a height of about 1 to 2 cm pillow. 7 to 8 months of age, the baby’s shoulders began to widen, you can use the height of 3 to 4 cm, and the baby’s shoulders the same width of the pillow. When the baby learns to walk, his lumbar spine will protrude forward to form a lumbar curve, with a height of about 4 cm pillow will be more appropriate. Tips: 1, if the baby has spilled milk after birth, you can raise his upper body, keep the right side lying, and use a pillow as wide as the baby’s shoulders. Turn him over after an hour to avoid suffocation and to prevent the baby from sleeping on the wrong side of the head. 2, if the winter baby wears thicker clothes, the back and back of the head when there is a drop, the mother can take a soft towel folded twice, placed on the baby’s neck to do a support. Second, how to do if the baby’s head sleeps off? Newborn babies spend most of their time every day sleeping, and if they sleep on one side for a long time, it is easy to have the problem of deviated head, there are some so-called “baby shaped pillow” on the market that can prevent and correct the problem of baby sleeping with deviated head, but in fact the role of the baby shaped pillow is mainly to prevent the baby’s head from turning, and there is no role of shaping. The newborns below 3 months of age use pillows to cause pressure on the cervical spine, so it is not recommended that mothers give their babies with shaped pillows, often help the baby to switch positions to sleep is the right way to let the baby sleep a good head shape. Within 4 months of the baby’s head sleep is also a way to correct the mother can roll up a small quilt or pillow against the baby’s body, so that the fat side of the baby’s face pressed on the pillow to sleep, to correct the original baby like to press the side of the habit of sleeping. In addition, babies like to sleep in the direction of people, bright lights and sounds, so they will feel more secure, and mothers can use this to change the direction in which their babies sleep.
