How to make a newborn sleep with a good head shape

The older generation thinks that the back of the head is relatively flat is the standard of beauty, like my mother-in-law would pillow rice bags when she was a child. It is to make a very thin pillow for the baby, but it is rice in it, so that you can quickly sleep flat. And the modern aesthetic believes that the roundness of the back of the head is the standard of beauty.

If parents find that the baby has maintained a sleeping position for a long time within 4 months, resulting in a flat part of the skull, at this time they should take the initiative to adjust the child's sleeping position and change the direction, so that the baby can sleep in another direction. This is actually very simple, after each time the baby falls asleep in his arms, when he is put in the crib, this time the head is facing left, then next time the head is facing right. Note that you alternate between lying on your left side, your right side, and your back.

If the baby is "stubborn" and likes to look in one direction, then you can only adjust the direction of the baby's sleeping head and feet, and switch it from time to time.

You can adjust the baby's sleeping position appropriately, and then he sleeps in different directions and angles. In addition to the baby's sleeping position, usually to help the baby rub the back of the head, each time with the palm of the hand gently rub a few times, which is also conducive to the baby's head development, my baby will now sleep on his back, without us can sleep well. Sometimes the more we think about it, the more complicated things become, just keep everything simple, just pay more attention to your life, and don't be too persistent.

The sleeping position should be changed frequently, and it is necessary to turn over more. Newborns don't roll over, they only move their heads and eyes, and they can sleep all the time if they are comfortable in a certain position or orientation. Mothers should help them change their sleeping position from time to time, change the left side to the right side, and then change back again, and so on, to ensure that each side can sleep for a certain amount of time.

Don't use hard pillows, just use a towel. The head of the newborn is very delicate, if there are no special circumstances, it is not recommended to sleep on the shaped pillow, let alone use a hard pillow for the baby, which is not conducive to the development of the baby's skull and the shaping of the head. You can put a soft towel on the baby, which is breathable and sweat-wicking.

My baby is 92 days old, and I haven't given her a pillow to sleep on, and now the head shape feels good, and the back of the head feels very comfortable. In fact, when I just gave birth to a baby, I also struggled with how to sleep on my head and whether to sleep on a pillow. Now think about it, there is no need to think so much, we just need to pay attention to the baby's sleeping position, alternate left and right sides when feeding, sleep is the same, alternate sleeping on the left and right sides, you can also sleep on your back, but don't deliberately use something to cushion and force the baby to sleep on your back, which is not very safe.

Babies are particularly sensitive to the taste of the mother, they like to fall asleep in the environment with the smell of the mother, if the mother sleeps on the baby's side, the baby's head will naturally deviate to a certain side, the mother needs to change the position regularly, and the left and right sides of the sleep time should be about the same.

If you want to perfect your head, D3 is indispensable. D3 helps the synthesis of calcium in the baby's body, promotes the development of the baby's bones, and also helps the formation of the baby's beautiful head shape. Before the fontanelle is closed, it is recommended that the mother give the baby D3 according to the doctor's instructions, and consult the doctor if you need to continue to take it after the closure.

Nowadays, newborns do not advocate pillows, and it is good to develop freely. The head shape is not unsightly.

Personally, I think that as long as it is not biased, it doesn't matter if the head is round or flat, and it is good to pay attention not to let the child's face side in one direction for a month, and it is a good head shape if it is not biased.

The baby's head shape will be fixed between 0 and 3 months, so it is not too late to correct it before the age of 3 months, the baby's head shape is basically fixed after 3 months, it is difficult to correct it by physical methods, if the baby is still eccentric after 3 months of age, the specific correction method can consult the doctor.

Don't let him sleep on one side all the time, give him a constant change of position. This way the head shape will not be ugly.

The child's skull is easy to deform due to the development stage, so the child's pillow must be soft and comfortable, and take care of the child not to let his head face to the side.

Choose a comfortable baby pillow, do not let the child sleep on the same side, and adjust his sleeping position frequently.

Ways to let your baby sleep with a good head shape1.Adjust your baby's sleeping position in time

Sleeping in one direction for a long time can easily lead to a flat head, therefore, mothers should adjust the baby's sleeping position in time, so that the baby lies on his back, on the left side, and on the right side alternately, and it is best to change it every 2 3 hours.

2.Use pillows properly

From birth to 3 months, the spine has not yet curved, so it is best not to use a pillow; 3 When it is about 5 months, you can choose a cotton pillow with a height of 1 2cm and relatively soft and breathable; At 6 to 8 months, you can put a 3 4 cm thick pillow on your baby.

3.Appropriate **neck

If the baby has a deviation, parents can correct it in a timely manner, when the baby's head is somewhat deviated to the left, give the left neck ** on the contrary, press the right neck, which helps to relieve the pressure on the neck muscles and improve the phenomenon of deviation.

4.Pay attention to your feeding position

Mothers should also pay attention to the correct posture when feeding their babies, do not always feed on one side, and alternate left and right; When the baby is awake, parents can change the position to talk to the baby.

The importance of sleeping position for head formationNewborns' bones are very soft, so the first 3 months after birth is a critical period for shaping the head, and if you sleep incorrectly, it is easy to have a deviation of the head, which will affect the appearance of the head in the future. Therefore, new mothers should pay attention to the baby's sleeping position when nursing the baby, so that the baby has a beautiful head shape when he grows up.

Several sleeping positions for newborns1.Sleep on your side

For newborn babies, the use of alternate side sleeping positions on both sides is the most ideal and safest sleeping position, and will make the baby's head contour beautiful when he grows up. Since the baby does not roll over yet, the mother can put a pillow on the baby's back to support the baby's body.

2.Sleep on your back

Sleeping on your back will reduce the pressure on the internal organs of the newborn baby, with the least pressure on the heart, gastrointestinal tract and bladder, and can also relax the muscles of the whole body.

Often change the baby's sleeping position, it is not easy to lead to a flat head, I am not asleep when try to let the baby lie on his back, the direction of the head to change more, so that you can sleep a beautiful round head,

Newborn babies don't actually need a shaped pillow. All you need is a towel. Let the little one sleep on his left side. Then sleep on the right side. It's okay to take turns sleeping like this.

Let the baby lie on his side, lying on his side will not cause the skull to flatten, nor will the forehead and occipital bone be squeezed, but the side lying should be alternate, not just the left or right, but also lie flat properly.

Newborns sleep most of the time, and if they sleep on one side for a long time, it is easy to sleep on the wrong side. Therefore, in order to give the baby a good-looking head shape, many parents will choose to buy a baby setting pillow.

Although many manufacturers now claim that their products can prevent children from sleeping on the wrong side and make the baby's head look good. But the actual situation is that the role of the baby setting pillow is mainly to prevent the baby's head from turning, and it cannot play a role in stereotyping, so how should the baby sleep out of the head shape? Next, novice parents have to learn.

1. Does the baby need a pillow to sleep?

Many parents of the older generation, in order to let their children sleep with a good head shape, will let the newborn baby sleep on various pillows, but because of this practice, it is common for newborns to sleep on the wrong head, so parents should pay attention to this parenting.

The spine of the human body itself has four curves: neck, chest, waist, sacrococcygeal, these four curves are constantly formed with the growth of the baby, and only when the neck curvature of the newborn baby is formed, the newborn needs a pillow.

When the child can raise his head on his stomach and his head can stand upright, the neck curvature is truly composed. Therefore, it is recommended to give the baby a pillow at this time.

2.A timetable for critical periods to sleep well in a good head shape.

2 months is the most important:

As the newborn baby grows, the hardness of the baby's skull will also harden, and then the head shape will not change much, which is about 2 months old for the newborn.

It's still time to fine-tune the head shape in 3 months:

If parents find that the baby's head shape is a little biased outside of 2 months, don't worry, it's still too late to adjust within 3 months. After the baby is 3 months old, the head shape is basically fixed, and the baby can sleep more freely at this time.

Fontanelle closure for life:

Normally, the fontanelle will close when the baby is one to one and a half years old, which means that the baby's head shape is basically fixed and there will be no major changes.

So if you want to sleep out of your head, mothers should be clear at this time.

3.The height of the pillow for your baby should be set according to your baby's age.

Newborn babies: Pillows are not recommended for newborn babies because their spine is almost straight.

2-3 months baby: the baby at this stage can basically raise his head on his stomach, the newborn baby at this stage of the pillow should be flattened, the length and the baby's shoulders can be the same width, the general pillow height is 2?Around 3cm.

Babies who learn to sit: At this stage, the newborn baby's thoracic vertebrae bulge backwards to form a chest curvature, and the height of the baby's pillow is 34cm。

The baby who learns to walk: When the newborn baby learns to walk, the thoracic spine bulges forward to form a lumbar curve, and the pillow for the newborn baby at this stage should be about 4cm high.

Because of the space, that's all for today's sharing.

The next is about the correction method of the newborn baby's misdemeanor, the baby's mother in need can reply to the word "parenting" in a private message, and I will send you the sorted out method.

Novice parents recommend a professional setting pillow for their children.
