When does your baby start sleeping on a pillow?

  Newborn babies lying down to sleep, the back and back of the head at the same level, the neck, back muscles naturally relaxed, and the baby’s head is large, almost as wide as the shoulder, side lying is also very natural, therefore, within 3 months of the baby does not need to use the pillow. If used too early, but easy to affect the baby’s head and neck development.  Babies begin to learn to lift their heads after 3 months of life, the spinal neck segment appears forward physiological curvature, when you should begin to use the height of 1-2 cm pillow. When the child grows to 7-8 months, the shoulders begin to widen, should use the height of 3-4 cm, the length of the same as the baby’s shoulder width pillow. When picking a pillow for your baby, you should choose buckwheat bark, tea, corncob, bushy velvet and other materials filled with breathable, moisture-absorbing, soft and hard pillow core. If the pillow is too soft, easily lead to baby suffocation, and too hard and not suitable for the soft characteristics of the child’s skull, easily lead to the child’s head deformation. The pillowcase should be cotton cloth for the best.
