How to choose a baby pillow

When choosing a pillow, you must pay attention to selecting it according to the age group. So how do you choose a baby pillow? Generally speaking, there is no need to use a pillow for a newborn within one month after the baby is born, because the baby's neck does not have an arc at this time. If a pillow is used at this time, it will affect the child's growth and development. Only when the baby is three months old and has a real physiological curvature, you can choose a suitable pillow for the child.

Babies mainly dissipate heat through their heads, so the breathability of the pillow is the first thing to consider. Synthetic fiber pillows, including memory foam pillows, are relatively less breathable. In addition, the baby's pillow should not be too hard, otherwise it will easily cause the soft head to deform. Some pillows made of grain materials will be hard, so you can pay attention to this when purchasing.

We know that babies sleep for a long time a day before they are 3 months old, and because they cannot turn over, they usually sleep on their backs. However, their heads can swing left and right. If they always lean to one side, it is very likely that their heads will become crooked. If you use a shaping pillow at this time, it can indeed reduce the phenomenon of crooked head shape caused by long-term sleeping posture. Even if the baby shakes his head from side to side, the round groove will help the baby to "round" his head. However, the prerequisite is to choose a suitable shaping pillow. If the baby's head is larger than the groove of the pillow, it will not achieve the desired effect.

How to choose a baby pillow also depends on the height and material of the pillow. When the baby is three months old, the spine begins to show physiological curvature. The baby's pillow can be replaced with a pillow about three centimeters high. After the baby is six months old, the pillow can be replaced with a pillow of four centimeters high. When choosing a pillow, be sure to choose a pillow with good breathability, which is conducive to sweat absorption and heat dissipation to prevent developmental disorders.
