    Baby pillows can generally be used after three months, that is, after the physiological curvature of the cervical spine is formed, but the pillow should not be too high.

    Before three months, the cervical spine and local muscle tissue of young babies are relatively weak, and if the pillow is used too early, it may cause damage to local joints and muscle tissue, affecting the healthy growth of children.

    At the same time, babies before three months ago are prone to spitting up and leaking milk, and their ability to control the steering of their neck is not good, which can easily cause milk to choke into the trachea after spitting up, causing accidents.

    Therefore, babies before three months should not use pillows, but should choose to sleep on their flat or side. Usually let children train to lie prone and raise their heads, exercise children's neck muscles, and promote the physiological curvature of the cervical spine to develop and improve as soon as possible.

    Newborns do not need pillows. Generally speaking, for babies under 3 months, the spine has not yet formed a physiological curvature, and it is basically straight. When lying flat, the back, neck, and back of the head are basically at the same level.

    At this time, the back muscles relax. In addition, the baby's head is relatively large, almost as wide as the shoulders. Even if you lie on your side and your head and body are on the same level, you will not suffer stiff neck or cervical spine injury.

    Therefore, it is not necessary for newborns to use pillows. Conversely, if the pillow is too high, the head and neck will bend excessively, which will also affect the breathing and swallowing of the newborn baby, increasing the chances of accidents.

    Three to six months later. At the age of 3 months, the baby begins to learn to raise his head and the cervical spine begins to bend forward. At this time, you can use a lower pillow for your baby, about 1 cm.

    At about 6 months, the baby begins to learn to sit, the thoracic spine begins to show a backward physiological curvature, and the shoulders develop and widen. At this time, let him use a pillow 2 3 cm high, which will prevent his head from being lowered and allow him to sleep more comfortably. Moreover, at this time, if the baby does not breathe smoothly when sleeping, he can also adjust the sleeping position independently.

    6-12 months, the baby's head is basically fixed, the head and neck muscles are developed, and the sleeping position is more diverse and casual. At this time, the optimal height of the baby's pillow is 3 cm, and too high or too low will easily affect the baby's breathing and neck blood circulation. If the effect of changing the sleeping position to adjust the baby's head shape is not obvious, the mother can consider letting the baby wear a corrective helmet to help correct it.

    In addition, we should pay attention not only to the height of the pillow, but also to the cleanliness of the pillow. Baby saliva, sweat, or spit out milk can stick to the pillow. Because these secretions and vomit will breed bacteria, will harm the baby's **, cause rashes, mosses and other diseases, so you need to clean and replace the pillow and pillow core in time, so that the baby can live in a clean and tidy environment and grow up healthily.

    For your baby's safety, the length of the pillow should be greater than the width of your baby's shoulders. If your baby has some free space in his head and neck after sleeping, the width of the pillow is appropriate. Taking into account all aspects, it is generally advisable to choose a pillow with a length of 50 cm and a width of 30 cm.
