    The baby's head is still relatively large, and the curvature of the spine is not deep, so as long as the baby himself does not feel uncomfortable, it doesn't matter. But as the body develops, the child's shoulders gradually widen. In order to protect the normal physiological curvature and maintain the normal physiological activities during sleep, it is still necessary to use a pillow when sleeping.

    A good pillow that can support the cervical spine well. Without it, the quality of sleep will be greatly reduced. When choosing a pillow, pay attention to the height, width, and length of the pillow, as well as the material and hardness of the pillowcase and pillow core, etc.

    Length: Equal to the width of your baby's shoulders, or slightly wider. Width:

    It is about slightly wider than the length of your baby's head. Height: Generally, for three- or four-month-old babies, the pillow height is about 1 cm; babies after 6 months, about 3 to 4 cm; Children are about 6, 9 cm.

    Pillow core: It is better for small babies to use buckwheat husk or dried tea leaves after brewing tea to make pillow cores. These materials are moderately hard and soft, and have good moisture absorption and air permeability.

    Other materials, such as barnyard grass seeds and similar items, will also work. Fillings such as thin down and down are too soft, and often contain dust, mites, etc., which are easy to cause allergies and are not suitable for pillow cores.

    OK. Four-month-old baby can use a one-centimeter pillow, of course, you can also use this according to the baby's needs, if the baby does not sleep soundly when the pillow is not used, you can also use the pillow, but if in life, the baby likes to sleep on the human arm, or when he wakes up, often sleep on the quilt, it is likely that the baby needs a pillow.

    When using a pillow for a baby, in addition to paying attention to the height of the pillow, the material of the pillow can be made of pure cotton, and the most common buckwheat can be filled inside. Such a pillow is also more convenient, after the baby grows up, you can put more buckwheat pillows in it to become taller, if for smaller babies, such pillows are also conducive to the development of the cervical spine.

    When the general baby sleeps, he may grow a pillow before sleeping, but after waking up, he is no longer on the pillow, but for the healthy growth of the baby, it is necessary to start preparing a suitable pillow for the baby after four months.

    Hello. OK. The height of the baby's pillow is 3 4 cm, and the length is the same as the baby's shoulder.

    The texture of the pillow core should be soft, lightweight, breathable, hygroscopic, uniform soft and hard, and moderate thickness. You can choose barnyard grass seeds, rush grass, fluff, buckwheat husk and other materials to fill the wide front.

    Some parents think that babies sleeping on a harder pillow can make the skull grow strong and the appearance of the head looks good, which is not right. Pillows with excellent texture are easy to fatigue the neck muscles after sleeping, resulting in "cautious pillowing". The skull of children is soft, and the chimney and skull line have not been completely closed, and long-term use can easily cause deformation of the skull, flattening the head, or one side of the face is large and one side of the face is small, which affects the appearance of the child.
