The three manifestations show that the baby should use the pillow, the mother should not be reluctant to buy it, the material is very important
I believe many parents are aware of the fact that newborn babies cannot use pillows. But why is it that a newborn baby can't use a pillow?
This has a lot to do with the baby's spine. Why do adults sleep with pillows? Because the spine of the human body has four physiological curvatures, and the neck is one of the places where it is bent. Adults sleep with pillows to protect the curvature of the neck and keep breathing smooth.
Babies are different. Babies are just born and their spines are not fully developed , so their neck spines are straight . If you put pillows on babies, it will hurt them instead.
When the baby is more than 1 year old, the baby's spine becomes more and more developed and has the ability to bend physiologically . Parents should pay attention. At this time, they need to add a pillow to the baby. At this time, the baby usually also has some symptoms. Parents need to pay attention to the characteristics of pillows.
The three manifestations show that the baby should use the pillow, the mother should not be reluctant to buy it, the material is very important
Like the children of Xiao Nan's family, because Xiao Nan knew that children could not put pillows when they were young, so they did not buy pillows for them to sleep in, and the quality of their sleep was always good.
But recently, the child was very dishonest when he was sleeping, tossing and turning. At first, when Xiao Nan didn't know it, he thought that the child was sleeping hot, so he covered him with a thin quilt, which almost made the child catch a cold. Once, when Xiao Nan found out that the child fell asleep, she liked to lean on her hand and grabbed her shoulder to sleep .
At this time, Xiao Nan began to pay attention to it, thinking whether the child needed a pillow, so he bought a special pillow for children for the child. It turns out that the child sleeps much more honestly.
In fact, the reason why the child of Xiaonan's family sleeps dishonestly is to "tell" adults that he should use a pillow.
How can you tell if it's time for your child to use a pillow? It can be analyzed from the following three manifestations
1: When sleeping, tossing and turning
Most babies sleep more honestly. If they are not honest, there may be a problem with the body. Or the external environment makes him uncomfortable.
When some babies sleep, they like to toss and turn, which makes them uncomfortable, especially they don't like to sleep on their backs, but on their side.
Parents should pay more attention, it is possible that the baby is not breathing smoothly, because the neck begins to bend, the baby needs to sleep with a pillow and keep breathing smoothly.
2: Like to sleep on the arm of an adult
When the baby is uncomfortable sleeping, he will unconsciously adjust the sleeping position. At this time, if the baby grabs the parent's arm and leans on it, it means that the child wants a pillow.
3: Kick the quilt and put your pillow on the edge of the quilt
The child sleeps dishonestly. He likes to kick the quilt halfway through his sleep, and may even sleep on the edge of the quilt. This phenomenon is also telling his parents that he wants a pillow.
Poor breathing will make the baby unconsciously look for something to rest his head when he is asleep.
What should you pay attention to when buying a pillow for your baby
1: The softness and hardness of the pillow should be suitable
Too hard and too soft pillows will not work. When choosing a pillow, you should gently pinch the hardness with your hands, and go to the physical store to check it as much as possible.
A pillow that is too soft can make your child's neck uncomfortable, making it impossible to breathe well.
A pillow that is too hard will cause certain damage to the child's spine.
2: Choose a cotton pillow
The pure cotton pillow is quite friendly to the baby's skin, it will not irritate the baby's skin, and the most important thing is that the pure cotton has good sweat absorption effect. The baby is prone to sweating and drooling when sleeping, and the pure cotton has a good water absorption effect and can effectively absorb the baby's sweat.
Secondly, buy a pillow that is easy to change and wash. Because the baby often drools, the pillow should be washed frequently, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria, which will have a certain impact on the baby's body.
