90% Of Mothers Don't Know When A Baby Should Use A Pillow

In order to let the baby have a beautiful head shape and good sleep, many mothers have used pillows for the baby since he was born! Now many brands of baby pillows will indicate that the applicable groups are: newborns, babies aged 0-12 months and 0-2 years... However, does such a small baby really need a pillow?

When is a baby pillow more suitable to use?

The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that using pillows before the age of 1 will greatly increase the risk of infant asphyxia.

Many pediatric experts in China believe that after the baby can sit alone, the cervical segment of the spine begins to bend forward. At this time, you can start to use pillows for the baby.

However, some studies have shown that the physiological bending of the baby's spine at this time is very small, and the baby can sleep well without a pillow.

Both of the above views believe that don't use pillows for your baby too early. If the baby over 1 year old sleeps naturally and comfortably without a pillow, there is no need to rush to use a pillow for the baby.

When the baby shows the following signals, it indicates that he begins to need a pillow

• Sleep quality is not as good as before. If you put a small towel under your head, he will sleep more soundly;

• Like to sleep on adults' arms;

• When you wake up, you often find your baby resting on half of the quilt.

What problems should you pay attention to when using a baby pillow?

Mothers who have chosen pillows for their babies know that there are a variety of children's pillows on the market, and many businesses make a fuss about the materials of pillows.

Instead of being led by the merchant, you might as well learn how to choose the right pillow for your baby:

1. The height should be appropriate

Some children like high points and some children like low points. Mother can put a towel under the child's head to see what height the child likes. Generally speaking, the height of children's pillows is mostly 3-6cm. In addition, the height of the pillow should be adjusted with the child's age.

2. The hardness should be just right

If you want to choose a pillow with just right hardness and softness, you can press the surface of the pillow. If the concave part can bounce back soon, it indicates that the pillow has good elasticity and just right hardness.

The pillow is too soft, and the child's pillow is easy to sag on it, which can not cushion the head; Too hard pillows are easy to fatigue neck muscles. When turning over or head rotation is slightly larger, it will also damage the traction of neck soft tissue, resulting in pillow falling.

3. Ensure cleanliness

No matter what kind of pillow is made of, the key is to clean the pillowcase frequently, dry more and replace the pillow core, so as to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.
