Three methods of correcting baby's head shape

Because the bones of a baby's head are not fully developed when they are born, the baby's sleeping position will affect the shape of their head in the future. Many mothers often complain that their children have ugly head shapes due to incorrect sleeping postures. Today, I will solve the problem for you - how to correct the baby's head shape. I hope it will be helpful to all mothers.

3 ways to correct your head shape

Method 1: Choose the appropriate sleeping position according to the baby's appearance

For example, some babies have high cheekbones. If they lie on their stomachs, their cheekbones will be even higher and their face shape will become uglier. It is more appropriate for such babies to sleep on their left or right side. If the baby's cheekbones are not too high, you can let the baby lie on his stomach more often, which will make the cheekbones higher and look better.

Method 2: Adjust sleeping position according to baby’s nature

Generally, babies are used to sleeping facing their mothers and also like to sleep facing the light. If you are not careful, over time, the baby's head will become flat on the side facing the mother or the lamp. Based on this characteristic, you need to change your baby's sleeping position frequently, including when he wakes up. Don't let him sleep on the same side every day. You can also move the position of the lamp. You can also often exchange sleeping positions with your baby.

Method 3: Use a shaping helmet

If your baby's head is very tilted, you can choose a shaping helmet. This type of helmet is similar in structure to a safety helmet and is made of extremely light material. It is made based on the ideal head shape of your baby, so that the protruding parts no longer grow and the flat parts have more room to grow. The helmet applies different pressures to different parts of the skull, causing the skull to grow at different rates. Your baby's head shape will be naturally corrected according to this shaping helmet. However, the helmet cannot be made to measure. It must be customized under the guidance of a doctor.

The above are the three methods that the editor wants to share with parents about correcting baby’s head shape. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In short, as long as parents pay more attention to nutrition and let the baby sleep in various postures after the baby is born, the baby's head shape will look good and there is no need to worry too much.
