Recently, my friend's child has reached more than two years old, so I consider buying a pillow for my child so that my child can sleep more comfortably. When it comes to buying pillows for babies, we will find that some mothers have a lot of difficulties and entanglements in choosing, not as simple as we adults buy pillows, and the baby's pillow selection is very exquisite.
So, how do mothers choose the right pillow for their baby? In the process of choosing a pillow for your child, what are the things that need to be paid attention to? Here, Xiaobian will come to talk to you about what mothers need to pay attention to before choosing pillows for their babies:
First of all, we need to understand how old the baby is suitable for using pillows, because using pillows too early will affect the development of the baby's cervical spine and bone. In this regard, we must know what the development state of the baby's cervical spine bone is:
During the 0 to 3 months of birth, the baby's cervical spine is almost at the same level as the spine, which means that the straight cervical spine is the baby's normal state. As the baby's big movement of raising his head and crawling gradually develops, the bones of the cervical spine gradually begin to form a curvature of physiological curvature, and it is not until he learns to walk after one year of age that the physiological curvature of the cervical spine and spine is formed.
Therefore, from the development of the child's cervical spine, the baby before the age of one does not need a pillow to sleep, and those so-called baby pillows are just a marketing gimmick of the business, and those who need it can actually pad a small quilt and a small towel. After one and a half years old, the mother in need can consider choosing a pillow for the baby.
Secondly, we can start from the perspective of the pillow to choose a suitable one for the baby, so when we choose a pillow for the baby, we need to pay attention to the following dimensions:

1. The choice of pillow material
The baby's skin is very delicate, and some babies are more likely to sweat when they sleep at night, so when choosing the material of the pillow, you need to choose some healthy and natural fabrics, and to absorb moisture and sweat wicking are better. In this way, the baby is safer in direct contact and is not prone to skin allergies and rashes.
In the choice of pillowcase fabrics, high-quality contactable cotton materials are the best choice for cost performance, followed by some flax materials, which are also more natural and comfortable. In the choice of pillow core, you also need to pay attention to the safety of the material, pure cotton filling or latex material will be better, and some other fillings such as buckwheat, cassia seeds, mung beans, etc., parents basically do not have to consider.
2. Functional design of pillows
Now many baby pillows also have different functional designs, and the type is similar to the shape design of our adults, mainly divided into ordinary pillows, cervical spine protection, stereotyped pillows and so on. Ordinary pillow is to meet the ordinary needs, the shape is relatively flat, the neck pillow will have a high and low curve design more in line with the physiological curve of the cervical spine.
The shaped pillow is a big selling point of the baby pillow, mainly designed as a concave style in the middle, which can fix the baby's head well to achieve the effect of sleeping head. In general, the pillows we choose can be concentrated on ordinary pillows or specially designed fixed pillows.
3, the softness and size of the pillow
Finally, we also have to comprehensively look at the design of the baby's pillow in terms of softness and size, which is related to the use effect of the pillow and the comfort of the baby's use. We have to choose a pillow with moderate softness and hardness, a very key point is to see whether the rebound is good or not, whether it can support the baby's head, if the pillow is too hard, it is easy to rest the baby's head, too soft and no pillow effect.
Secondly, the size of the baby's pillow depends on the width and height, in general, the width of the pillow only needs to be kept at the same length as the baby's shoulder width, and there is no need to buy a pillow that is too wide. The height of the pillow can be selected according to the baby's age, within 3 years of age, you can choose 3 cm high, and the older one can choose 3 to 5 cm in height.
Important: The physiological curve of the baby's cervical spine before the age of one has not yet been perfected, it is not recommended to use a pillow, and when the mother chooses a pillow for the child, she needs to pay attention to choosing a natural and comfortable material, to sweat and breathe, pay attention to the functional design of the pillow, and finally consider whether the softness and size of the pillow are appropriate.
