Should children use pillows?

Generally, adults must use pillows when they sleep. Choosing a good pillow will allow them to sleep peacefully. However, some parents will question whether children should use pillows. Some parents worry that if their children are too young to use pillows, it will affect the development of their cervical spine and the formation of their head shape. In the face of this problem, let me introduce to you whether children should use pillows.

A pillow is a sleeping tool. It is generally believed that a pillow is a filler used by people to make sleeping comfortable. However, from the perspective of modern medical research, the human spine is a straight line when viewed from the front, but it has four physiological curves when viewed from the side. In order to protect the normal physiological curvature of the neck and maintain normal physiological activities during sleep, people must use pillows when sleeping. A pillow is generally composed of two parts: a pillow core and a pillowcase. When choosing a pillow, you need to pay attention to: the reasonable height of the pillow, the reasonable hardness of the pillow, the breathability and elasticity of the pillow, the reasonable position of the headrest, etc. In addition, it is not just the pillow itself, but also the reasonable replacement time of the pillow should be paid attention to when using it:

Simple self-check criteria to determine whether you should change your pillow:

1. In the absence of other physical illnesses, you often feel numbness and soreness in your neck after getting up in the morning.

2. The pillow has lost its elasticity and needs to be patted for a while to restore some elasticity.

3. After I finally adjusted the pillow, it quickly returned to its flat state.

4. The pillow is lumpy and uneven, and the filling has a damp odor. How often should a pillow be replaced? Many people only replace their pillows every four years, but in fact, pillows should be replaced every 1 to 3 years.

The above is some common sense about whether children should use pillows, as well as the content introduction. Parents should know more about these items and some common sense issues in their lives when taking care of their children. This will avoid these small mistakes and cause certain impacts on their growth and health invisibly.
