How high should a child's pillow be?

Parents should pay attention to their children's physical health issues, and the selection of any supplies that children need in life cannot be taken lightly. Only the most suitable ones can achieve better results for their physical health and development. For example, parents should pay attention to the choice of children's pillows. The following is to introduce to you how high children's pillows should be.

In order to maintain the physiological curvature during sleep and keep a comfortable body position, the baby should be given a pillow one month after birth depending on the situation. The height can be adjusted as appropriate, but should not exceed 4 cm. When the baby can lift his head at 3 months, a cervical curve protruding forward will appear in the cervical spine; after he can sit at 6 months, a thoracic curve protruding backward will appear in the thoracic spine; when he can walk at 1 year old, a lumbar curve protruding forward will appear in the lumbar spine, so after 3 months, the spine is no longer straight. At the same time, as the body develops, the shoulders gradually widen. At this time, in order to ensure a proper sleeping position, you should start using a pillow. The height of a baby pillow is about 3-4 cm, while that of a child is 6-9 cm.

If the child is already three years old, you can use a pillow, generally about 5 cm in size. Don't be too high. A pillow that is too low or too high may cause the neck to bend and compress the trachea. In addition, it is better to choose rice husk as the pillow core, and it is not suitable to use foam plastic, acrylic, etc. as filling materials.

The above is an introduction to the height of children’s pillows. Parents and friends should of course pay special attention to these issues. As long as the children sleep well, their growth and development can be better achieved, and it can effectively avoid some adverse effects on their health due to these small details in life.
