Generally, babies under the age of one month are called newborns, and the babies at this stage are very tender, and they need extra attention to care, and if they are not careful, they will affect the health of the baby.
Speaking of newborns can I use a pillow? Many parents think that it is necessary to use it, and during pregnancy, they have purchased a small pillow, and they will use it as soon as the baby is born, simply thinking that the baby can sleep soundly with a small pillow. This consideration is mostly because parents are used to using pillows, so they think without thinking that the baby will also use it.
When I gave birth to the baby, the mother made a book pillow for the baby to use, and said that every baby born to pillow this pillow, otherwise the head shape is not good, I thought the mother was right at first, but the pillow day found the baby very uncomfortable, so I bought a new pillow at night, both sides have a fixed baby head design, afraid that the baby sleeps on the wrong side.
After another day or two, I still feel that the baby is uncomfortable lying down, lying and crying, holding up is good, putting down and crying, at first I don't know what's going on, I inadvertently removed the pillow, and found that the baby was obviously settled a lot, and the sleep was honest.
Later, I specifically inquired about some information, and also called the doctor, which made me know that I had done something wrong before, and it was good to correct it in time, otherwise the baby would be too guilty.
Can newborns use pillows? Parents should understand this as soon as possible so as not to delay the growth of the baby! About when to use a pillow and what pillow to use? Parents who don't understand come and see.
Doctors recommend that if the baby is less than three months old, do not use a pillow, then the newborn can not use it. This is because the baby is less than three months old, his spine is straight, unlike us adults are curved, then the baby lies down after using a pillow, which will cause pressure on the neck, if it is not corrected in time, it will affect the development of the spine, which is not conducive to the growth of the baby.
And when the first physiological bend is generally after three months, so the baby less than three months do not use a pillow, even if the baby special pillow is not used, after all, there is a certain height, should let the baby lie on a flat bed as well, so that the head and body are flat.
Since you can't use the pillow, the hard pillow can't be used, the damage caused to the baby is very large, on the one hand, it affects the development of the spine, on the other hand, it will make the baby sleep into a flat head, which does not look good, and will affect the appearance value in the future.
What pillows do you use?
When the baby grows to three or four months later, we can choose a very thin pillow, about one or two centimeters, do not look like no pillow, in fact, for the baby, there is still a difference between the pillow and the pillow, do not directly give the baby a pillow very high pillow.
When the baby grows to six months later, we can change the pillow, about three or four centimeters as well, so that the adjustment is more conducive to the baby's spine development.
After the baby is one year old, his hands and feet are very flexible, if the pillow is not suitable, the baby will leave the pillow after falling asleep, looking for a relatively high position to continue sleeping, then see this, parents can change the height of the pillow, only the pillow height is comfortable, in order to let the baby sleep better. Choosing a pillow, of course, is the best choice of cotton, not too soft and not too hard. After using the pillow, change the pillowcase frequently and often put it in the sun to avoid breeding bacteria.
