Moms all know that the newborn’s spine is straight and has not yet formed a physiological curve, so pillows are not needed. But when do baby start using pillows? there are different opinions. Some say that after 3 months, and some say that they will raise their heads. In fact, when the baby has these 3 performances, the pillow can be used.

The signal when baby can sleep on the pillow

• Babies like to sleep on their parents’ pillows

Babies basically slept with their parents. If mom suddenly finds that the baby is lying on her pillow when she coaxes her to sleep, it means that they are used to the pillow and feel uncomfortable to sleep on their back, so at this time you can add a pillow.

• Increased number of night awakenings

Under normal circumstances, babies wake up at night because they are hungry or have nightmares. At this time, they usually cry and swing their heads from side to side. If the parents calm the baby for a while and still can’t stop the crying, first consider whether they are uncomfortable. After excluding sickness, hunger, and nightmares, it is time to consider whether the neck is uncomfortable causing crying and whether it is time to prepare a pillow.

• Like to pillow on plush dolls

Plush dolls are a kind of toys that babies prefer, and they often play with them in their arms. If mom finds that the baby often puts a plush toy under his head while sleeping, it is time to prepare a pillow.

How to choose a pillow correctly?

Different months old babies have different choices.

• A one-month-old baby does not need a pillow. This is because the physiological curvature of the newborn’s spine has not yet appeared, and it is basically straight. At this time, the head is also relatively large, basically shoulder-width apart, so when it is lying flat, the headrest is at the same level as the back, and it also assumes a natural posture when lying on the side. If a pillow is used for a baby about one month old, the cervical spine will bend artificially, which will easily affect the baby's breathing and swallowing.

• Three-month-old babies can choose a pillow or pillow towel with a height of 1 cm (the height is calculated by lying down on the pillow). Most babies' head control ability is fully developed at three months, when the first curvature of the baby's spine (neck curvature) is formed, you can consider using a pillow at this time. Proper pillow height can maintain the baby's normal spinal curvature.

• The height of the pillow for a six-month-old baby is about 3~4 cm (the calculation method is the same as above). As the saying goes, "three lifts and six sits", a six-month-old baby will start to sit, and at the same time slowly form a second physical curvature of the spine (chest curvature). Compared with the past, this time you need to gradually increase the height of the pillow according to the baby's situation. .

• The height of the pillow for babies after one year old should be 6~9 cm. After one year old, the baby's walking ability is basically perfect, and the third curvature of the spine (lumbar curvature) is formed. At this time, the baby's autonomy is also improved. In addition to the comfort of the pillow, the height needs to be within a reasonable range.

The choice of pillow height seems complicated, but in fact, it only needs to master one principle to simplify it, that is, when the baby is resting on the pillow, the head and torso are basically in the same straight line.

Factors to consider when choosing a good pillow for your baby

So what kind of pillow should I choose? We suggested that the following three points should be mainly grasped:

Firstly, choose fabrics with good breathability and moisture absorption. Pure cotton is an ideal material for pillowcases and pillow cores.

Secondly, moderate soft and hard. Press the pillow with your hand, and the pillow will rebound naturally after you leave your hand. The softness of the pillow is appropriate. Before one year old, the baby’s skull is relatively soft, and pillows with too hard texture can easily cause deformation of the head and face, while pillows that are too soft can easily trap the baby and increase the risk of suffocation.

Thirdly, the length and width are appropriate. The length of the pillow should be slightly longer than the distance between the shoulders on both sides, so as to ensure enough space for the baby to move, and the width should be roughly the same as the head length.

After reading this article, you should have a comprehensive understanding of the importance of choosing pillows for your baby. We sincerely wish your baby grow up healthily. If you want to have oem baby pillow, please feel free to contact us.
