Three month old baby's head tilted back

We all know that in the first few months after a baby is born, its bones are not fully developed and it always shows various body movements. We can see the baby's physical condition through the baby's activity level. If the baby still tilts his head back at three months old, it means that his spine is not fully developed and we should not let him stand up too early. So, what are the reasons why the baby's head tilts back when he is three months old?

1. The sleeping position requirements for babies should be changed at different stages

If the baby is less than three months old, parents should try to let the baby sleep with his head tilted back. First of all, the baby cannot turn over yet. If he sleeps with his head sideways, it is easy for the pillow to cover his breathing, which may even cause suffocation in severe cases. As the baby grows older, parents should pay attention to helping the baby change sleeping positions frequently to avoid an ugly head shape caused by staying in a fixed sleeping position for a long time. After that, when the baby grows to a certain size, parents can let the baby lie freely at will.

2. Mothers should frequently switch sleeping positions with their babies

The baby's skull has not yet fully ossified, and the head shape still has a certain degree of plasticity. When the baby's bones in a certain position are under pressure for a long time, their shape will be affected. During the breastfeeding period, babies tend to get used to facing their mothers when sleeping so that they can be fed easily. Therefore, in order not to affect the development of the baby's skull, parents should frequently switch sleeping positions with the baby to prevent the baby's head from being poorly fixed and causing left-right asymmetry.

3. Prepare a pillow of a certain hardness for your baby

Many parents always think that the baby’s head is fragile, so they should prepare a softer pillow for the baby as much as possible. In fact, for babies, a pillow that is too soft is not conducive to fixing the baby's head shape. Parents can prepare a small pillow filled with rice or something like that for the baby, which will help shape the baby's skull. Generally speaking, a baby's head is basically formed by three months old. On the other hand, the height of the pillow that parents prepare for their baby should also continue to increase as the baby grows.

4. Let your baby get adequate nutrition

Many people may not know that nutrition is actually closely related to the baby's head shape. If the baby gets adequate nutrition, he will grow up healthily. Even if the head shape is abnormal due to various reasons, targeted adjustments can be made in a relatively short time. Therefore, if parents can pay more attention to nutrition and disease, no matter what sleeping position the baby adopts after birth, his head shape will not be too ugly.
