On whether newborns need pillows is actually controversial, in general, the newborn period is not necessary pillows. The newborn’s spine is straight, has not formed a physiological curvature, the baby’s back when lying flat and the back of the head naturally in the same plane, so newborns do not need to sleep with a pillow. If the baby is padded with too high a pillow instead, it is easy to cause the neck to bend, affecting the respiratory function, causing breathing disorders and affecting normal growth and development. But if the baby’s bed is soft, or the baby wears thicker clothes, or after spilling milk, this time the mother needs to pad a towel, folded into three folds under the baby’s shoulders, so as to help open the baby’s airway, smooth breathing, especially for some babies with short necks, or premature babies. Babies start to learn to lift their heads at 3 months, the cervical segment of the spine began to appear forward physiological bending, with the emergence of physiological bending, it is time to consider pillow pillows for babies. The length of the pillow should be equal to its shoulder width or slightly wider, width slightly longer than the head, the height of the pillow to 3 to 4 cm is the best. You can start by using a folded multi-layer cotton towel as a pillow, too high pillow can also be harmful to the baby, skeletal deformities, hunchback and other situations. The pillowcase should preferably be made of cotton to ensure softness and breathability. Pillow core should be a certain degree of softness, can choose buckwheat bark or bushy velvet. Therefore, whether or not the pillow also depends on the actual situation of the child’s bed, clothing, and whether there is overflowing milk.
