During the pregnancy stage, Mom and Dad are looking forward to the arrival of the baby and can't wait to feel the feeling of holding that soft and cute little angel in their arms. However, as soon as the child is born, the joy will be found that the original little angel needs to be very careful and cautious to take care of, and some new parents will start to scramble, not knowing what to do is good for the baby, afraid that if they are not careful, they will hurt this still very fragile baby. There are a lot of considerations to take care of your baby, and when to give your baby a pillow is also a top priority.
The mother-in-law gave the child a pillow for a week, but was stopped by the mother, and the mother knew that she had done something wrong until the hospital mother made trouble
Qiao Qiao, who lives in Hebei, has just joined the ranks of bao moms for a year, but he can take care of the children but he has a look, and he checks various precautions on the Internet on weekdays, and is very active in seeking experience from the people around him, and the one-year-old baby is very pleasing to her to take care of white and fat.
But recently because of one thing Jojo and the mother-in-law had a disagreement, the mother-in-law has been very relieved to take care of the child's thoughtful Jojo, but there is a point that she has not given the child a pillow Mother-in-law feels not very good, always do not use the pillow to lie how uncomfortable it is, especially the child is one year old, the mother-in-law feels that it is completely possible to pillow the pillow, she sewed a pillow for the child herself.
But the mother-in-law's approach made Jojo angry, she said that the child is still young, at this time the pillow is harmful to the child's cervical spine, insisting on not letting the mother-in-law use, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have their own opinions, and finally decided to ask the doctor who said the right thing. When he arrived at the hospital, Jojo was very excited to describe the matter with the doctor, and thought that the doctor would definitely accuse the mother-in-law of doing the wrong thing as himself, but the doctor said that the mother-in-law did the right thing, and the one-year-old child could use a pillow completely, if it was not used again, I was afraid that it would hurt the child's cervical spine development.
After listening to the doctor's words, Jojo felt that he had done something wrong, and after returning home, he carefully inquired about when the baby could use the pillow and the harm of not using the pillow for a long time, and after understanding clearly, she apologized to her mother-in-law, thinking that she understood things too much.
Perhaps most of the mothers for the baby to use the harm of the pillow is well known, we know that the newborn can not use the pillow after birth, because at this time the cervical spine has not yet developed well, the neck physiological curve is not done, too early use of the pillow can easily lead to the baby's cervical spine development deformity, and for the baby skull development also has a great impact, so the newborn must not use the pillow, so a few months can be used?
From the baby's physical development, it is best to use a pillow after the completion of their spine development, and this process requires 3 physiological bends: the first bend is about 3 months after the baby, the physiological curve of the cervical spine and spine begins to change gradually, but at this time, because the bones have not yet been fully fixed, the baby is still very soft, the second bend after the baby 6 months the entire spine begins to deform, the thoracic spine appears kyphosis, and the bones also begin to be characterized for the first time. The third bend is when the baby's lumbar spine begins to bulge forward after 12 months, and the spine gradually develops to completion.
So if the baby can sit up properly after 6 months, it proves that the bone development is better, so the baby can use the pillow in advance, but be sure to pay attention to the soft low pillow. Generally speaking, after 12 months, it is best to give the baby a real pillow to help the baby sleep on the pillow, and not using a pillow for more than this month may hurt their cervical spine development for the following reasons:
As mentioned earlier, after 12 months, the bones are basically characterized, at this time, lying flat without a pillow will form a kind of compression on the spine, which will cause damage to the spine in the long run, resulting in its deformation, causing harm to physical development and affecting the overall image. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the fact that the child's skeletal development is a big thing, and do not be swayed by the wrong view.
In addition, more than 12 months do not give the baby a pillow will also change the baby's breathing habits, we adults can also feel the pillow lying on the bed in addition to causing neck discomfort, breathing will also be pulled by the neck and lead to nasal breathing difficulties, turn to the mouth to breathe will be more labor-saving, the same is true for the baby. However, long-term open mouth breathing will lead to changes in the face, resulting in bald lips, etc., and at the same time, it is easier to make germs enter the baby's body through the mouth, so that their physical health is affected.
It should be noted that the choice of pillow should also be very careful, the pillow should not be too high and the overall is relatively soft, otherwise the baby pillow will be uncomfortable, but also to choose breathable, to avoid breathable leading to the baby's head prickly heat. The traditional bean making or other pillows that are more likely to breed mite bacteria are best not to be used for babies to prevent affecting their health.
Do not underestimate the harm caused by a pillow to the baby, the drawbacks it brings may not be immediately apparent at the moment, but it is gradually aggravated, so we must pay attention to the use of small pillows for the baby at the right age.
