Will the baby pillow under one year old bring any harm?

If you give a baby a pillow too early, it will indeed affect the development of the baby's cervical spine and spine, and even affect the baby's sleep. In addition, when giving the baby a pillow, if the pillow is too high, it will also make the baby sleep very uncomfortable, because the baby is just born, the cervical spine and lumbar spine are straight, and the pillow will cause pressure on the cervical spine at this time, which seriously affects the baby's growth. Wait until the baby grows up slowly, after six months the cervical spine will begin to undergo some changes, at this time you can use the pillow appropriately, but the pillow should not be too high, and some babies start to use the pillow after the age of one, which can be determined according to the baby's situation, for example, the baby often likes to sleep on the adult's arm, which is a signal that the baby needs a pillow.

For newborn babies can be folded with a towel as a baby's pillow, because the towel is more sweat-absorbent, the height is more appropriate, it is a more reasonable pillow for newborn babies, and when they grow up and begin to be able to use a pillow, they can choose a softer and more comfortable pillow to avoid pillows being too hard.

It is best not to let the baby under one year old use a pillow, and it is better to let them lie down to sleep. If you sleep with a pillow, it is very bad for the baby's spine, and if it is serious, it will be deformed.

Baby pillow pillows within one year old will be harmful and will have a bad impact on the development of the baby's cervical spine.

It will bring a certain amount of harm. It is likely that the shape of the baby's head is not particularly good, and it will also affect the baby's cervical spine and sleep quality.

The baby pillow pillow under one year old should not bring anything powerful, it may make the baby's head sleep more and more flat, there is no substantial change, but it doesn't look good.

"Pillows are not recommended for babies under one year old" disagrees with this statement, and the explanation is as follows:

In fact, the baby can sleep on the pillow after three months, but the height and type of pillow that the baby sleeps on at different ages are different, and parents need to choose carefully for the baby. If the baby does not sleep on the pillow at a certain age, it will have a certain impact on the baby's bone development, because the baby's spine and brain bone development is not fully developed at the age of one, and no pillow can easily lead to problems with the baby's sleep and cervical spine.

The baby is sleeping on the pillow, the mother also needs to pay attention, the baby is about one year old to sleep is unstable, and there will be a variety of rolling postures when sleeping, at this time, the mother should pay attention not to cover the baby, to avoid the baby being suffocated because of the improper sleeping position, and there will be a lack of oxygen and other phenomena.

Precautions should be taken when sleeping on a pillow for one-year-old babies

1. The baby's pillow emphasizes the applicability of use at different ages, and each period has different requirements for the height and hardness of the pillow, and parents can not let the baby use a pillow to be large, and the height and width of the pillow should be gradually adjusted according to the baby's development.

2. Some babies will unconsciously leave the pillow when sleeping, which is related to the curvature of the baby's spine, and the pillow makes it uncomfortable. At this time, parents should not force the baby to sleep on the pillow.

It is harmful for babies who are more than one year old to not have pillows.

From the perspective of growth and development, the baby begins to learn to raise his head at 3 months, and the spine and neck begin to appear forward physiological curvature. If you don't use a pillow at the age of one, your baby will find that his head is significantly lower when he sleeps. As a result, there is more blood in the brain than when using a pillow, which may affect the baby's sleep, and the face may be swollen after waking up.

However, parents need to be aware that improper pillow selection and use can also be harmful. The choice of pillow should be based on the physiological curvature and development of the baby's cervical spine, and observe that when the baby is pillowing the pillow, the head and body are on the same level. The height of the pillow is generally 3-4 cm.

Choice of pillows

You can start by using a folded multi-layer cotton towel as a pillow, too high a pillow will also be harmful to the baby, bone deformities, hunchback, etc. In addition, the pillow should be washed and changed frequently, the baby's head sweats a lot, and the pillow is often soaked when sleeping, which is easy to make some pathogenic microorganisms and dust and other allergens adhes.

Babies do not need pillows when they are just 0-3 months old, because the cervical spine of newborns is straight, and the width of the head and shoulders is about the same. When the baby lies flat, the cervical spine will naturally appear vertical, and generally only need to be slightly raised to raise the baby's head. 3-6 months is the best time to shape your baby's head, and it will become very difficult to correct it after 6 months.

After the baby is born, the doctor will tell the mothers not to give the newborn a pillow to sleep, because the baby's spine is very fragile, at this time the baby with a pillow will affect the development of the spine, and the baby may be hunched back.

One-year-old baby use pillow is still good, this is a very important stage of baby's head development, to give the baby a suitable pillow is conducive to the baby's head blood circulation, and then promote growth and development, plus a one-year-old baby wants to have a better sleep, but also to a suitable pillow, if the one-year-old baby does not sleep with a pillow, the baby's head will be very low when sleeping, but will affect the baby.

Can a one-year-old baby pillow be used with a bright pillow? For this potato problem, Dr. Cui Yutao said that the development of the spine of a one-year-old baby is already very good, and it is very good to use a pillow for the baby at this time, but when choosing a pillow for the baby, the height of the pillow needs to be paid more attention, because the baby's back and the back of the head are on the same plane, and the width of the pillow for the baby should be the same width as the shoulder, and the baby who sleeps on the side, the height of the pillow needs to be as high as the shoulder.

At the same time, the choice of pillow fabric is also more critical, be sure to choose a pillow with good air permeability for the baby, because the child's head is easy to sweat, and the pillow with good air permeability can better absorb sweat and effectively prevent the baby from having a rash, and it is necessary to pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the pillow, so as not to breed bacteria and affect the baby.
