    I don't think newborns need to use pillows, because the baby's newborn spine is a straight line, parallel, without any physiological curvature, so if you use a pillow for the baby when sleeping, it will make the baby very uncomfortable; Usually when the baby grows to 2 or 3 months, you can give the baby a pillow according to the situation.

    No, the spine of a newborn baby is straight, and the use of a pillow is not good for the child's spine. The child needs a pillow after three months, and the child's cervical spine has a certain curvature at this time, but the height of the pillow is as high as possible at 3 5 cm.

    No, because the newborn's spine does not show a physiological curvature, the use of pillows at this time may cause the child to bend over. Babies need to use a pillow after 6 months, but they still need to use a special baby pillow or U-shaped pillow.

    Now that the living conditions are getting better and better, many pregnant women prepare a lot of daily necessities for their children before they are born. For example, baby clothes, pillows, diapers, milk powder, especially pillows for newborns, but many parents do not know whether to use a pillow after the child is born, and when they are old, they can use the pillow correctly. In fact, it is still necessary to believe and do some understanding, so that the child can grow up healthily and will not be affected.

    But I personally recommend that newborns should not use pillows, after all, when the child is born, the cervical spine and cervical vertebrae are parallel, and the child will be in a more relaxed state after lying down. If the child uses a pillow when sleeping, it can easily cause the child's cervical spine to bend, affect the child's sleep status, and even cause accidents. In particular, when the child spits up milk, it will affect the child, so it is still necessary to reduce the habit of using the pillow for the child.

    Basically, the child can use a low pillow for the child at about three months, the main purpose is to alleviate the problem of the child's head shape, so that the child can sleep on a fixed pillow, which can give the child's head shape a better sleep, and will also avoid the problem of hunchback. The real use of pillows is more effective after one year old, pillow pillows can make children sleep more comfortably, but try to control the problem of children using pillows for a few months.

    For the sake of your child's health, when choosing a pillow, don't choose a pillow that is too high or too thick, as it is easy for the child to feel that it is not particularly comfortable. Try to go to a professional mother and baby store to buy, according to the size of the child and the child's body shape to buy, the general professional staff will give recommendations. However, when choosing a pillow, you must choose a better material, especially natural materials to help children sleep.

    And there is also good sweat absorption, the air permeability effect is also relatively good, the most important thing is that it is non-toxic and harmless and will not cause children to be allergic.

    Newborns should not use pillows because newborns' heads are relatively soft, and if you give your child a pillow at the beginning, it will affect the shape of your child's head. When the child is 6 months to 8 months old, you can give the child a pillow, and then when choosing a pillow for the child, you should choose some soft pillows, you can choose buckwheat pillows.
