Why does the baby sleep with his head tilted?

Babies often sleep with their heads tilted, which is generally a normal phenomenon. Because the baby's body is still in the early stages of development, the bones are relatively porous and the neck is still very soft. The phenomenon of tilting the head when sleeping is mostly involuntary. If it continues like this, it must be corrected because it will affect normal development.

Babies' bones are very loose and easily deformed when subjected to external force. If they sleep in the same direction for a long time, the weight of their head will inevitably produce lasting pressure on the part of the skull that contacts the bed, causing that part of the skull to gradually sink and eventually lead to an irregular head shape. An incorrect head shape will affect your appearance.

The way to avoid this consequence is relatively simple, that is, in the first few months after birth, let the baby change sleeping direction and posture frequently. Specific approach: Every few days, let the baby change from lying on the left side to lying on the right side, and then to lying on the back. If you find that the left side of a child's head is flat, try to let his face face to the right when he sleeps; if you find that the right side of a child's head is a little flat, try to let him sleep with his face face to the left, and this can be corrected. Some babies are accustomed to sleeping facing the same direction, so parents should turn their children's heads every once in a while. In addition, you can also put some soft cotton wool or other things under the child's head to prevent the occurrence of head tilt.

If your baby occasionally tilts his head when sleeping, it is better not to wake him up, otherwise it will affect his sleep. This is not a big problem, but if he tilts his head every time when sleeping, you should pay attention to it. At this time, it is necessary to correct the baby's sleeping habits so that the force on his neck is evenly distributed and it will not affect his future growth.
