2 How to choose a 3 month old baby pillow?

You can choose buckwheat pillows, or cooked Mingzi pillows, or you can choose to use wild chrysanthemum pillows, which should be the choice of many people.

2-3 months old baby, in fact, small but I would like to recommend that you do not use a pillow for the baby, because no matter what the pillow is, it does not have a slope from low to high.

But the baby needs a pillow that is very flat, but still a little sloped. The general pillow is high, there is no slope, and the baby needs to sleep out of the slope by himself.

But the baby is 2-3 months old, and at this time he can't even see his neck, you say let him sleep directly on the pillow, will he be comfortable?

This little can feel that the baby should not feel comfortable.

Therefore, Xiao Ke recommends that you make a small pillow for your baby, you can use your old clothes to make a cotton face, and then stuff some cotton inside, so that it becomes, open a particularly thin pillow, and the baby will be particularly comfortable when sleeping.

Mom knows best how to make the baby comfortable, so Xiao Ke feels that it doesn't take an hour to make a small pillow, so why bother to buy some pillows with specifications and heights.

2 to 3 months old babies do not necessarily need pillows, so first of all, let's find out when babies can have pillows.

The reason why we humans need pillows is that the neck has a forward physiological curvature, and the pillow pillow plays a supporting role in this physiological curvature, so that the cervical spine does not hang in the air, so as to protect the cervical spine. However, the cervical spine of a young baby is straight or even slightly bent backwards, as shown in the figure below.

If you force the baby to pillow at this time, it will not be comfortable, and it will cause the baby to breathe poorly, and it will affect the development of the baby's cervical spine over time. Therefore, it is necessary to use a pillow only when the baby has a cervical spine curve, and the baby at this time is generally more stable when the head is erected, and the time is generally 3 to 4 months.

However, generally at 3 to 4 months, the baby's movements are not sensitive, and there is not enough awareness to protect themselves, so adding pillows or pads for the baby at this time will increase the risk of blocking the baby's mouth and nose and causing suffocation.

So when can you use a pillow? Foreign pediatric societies generally recommend after 1 year old, we can judge according to the baby's situation, the recommendation is at least on the basis of the baby can raise his head stably, and then let the baby choose freely, when the baby actively wants to put the head on the action of the high object, you can use a pillow for the baby.

However, in the actual situation, many babies will have problems such as eccentricity, torticollis, etc., at this time, they can not strictly follow the time mentioned above, and should be solved as early as possible, otherwise with the development of the baby's cervical spine, if the torticollis problem is not solved in time, it may bring more problems such as eccentricity, facial development asymmetry, etc. This is the time to use a targeted functional pillow for your baby.
