Three kinds of performances show that the baby should use a pillow, mothers should not be reluctant to buy it, the material is very important
I believe many parents know about the fact that newborn babies cannot use pillows. But why is it said that newborn babies cannot use pillows?
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 a curved place, adults sleep on pillows to protect the curvature of the neck and keep breathing smooth.
Babies are different. Babies are just born and their spine is not yet fully developed , so their neck spine is straight . If you put a pillow on the baby, it will hurt them instead.
When the baby is more than 1 year old, the baby's spine is more and more mature, and the baby has the ability to bend physiologically . Parents should pay attention to it. At this time, it is necessary to add a pillow to the baby. At this time, the baby will usually have some symptoms. The characteristics of pillows are needed, and parents should pay attention to them.
Three kinds of performances show that the baby should use a pillow, mothers 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 the children could not use pillows when they were young, so they did not buy pillows for the children to sleep on. The children’s sleep quality has always been quite good.
But recently, the child was very dishonest when sleeping, tossing and turning. At first, Xiao Nan didn't know it, and thought the child was hot when sleeping, so she covered him with a thinner quilt, which almost made the child catch a cold. Once, Xiao Nan found that after the child fell asleep, she liked to lean on her hand and hold her shoulder to sleep .
At this time, Xiao Nan began to pay attention to it, thinking that the child needed a pillow, so she bought a special pillow for the child. I found that the child sleeps much more honestly.
In fact, the reason why the children of Xiaonan's family did not sleep honestly was to "tell" the 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 performances
1: When sleeping, tossing and turning
Babies sleep mostly honestly. If they are dishonest, there may be a problem with their body. Or the external environment makes him uncomfortable.
Some babies like to toss and turn when they sleep, and they are uncomfortable no matter how they sleep, especially they don't like to sleep on their backs, but sleep on their sides.
Parents should pay more attention. It is possible that the baby is not breathing smoothly, because the neck begins to bend, and the baby needs to sleep with a pillow and keep breathing smoothly.
2: I like to sleep with an adult's arm on my pillow
When a baby is uncomfortable sleeping, he will unconsciously adjust his sleeping position. At this time, if the baby grabs the parent's arm and leans on it, it means that the baby wants to sleep on the pillow.
3: kick the quilt, pillow on the edge of the quilt
The child sleeps dishonestly, likes to kick the quilt halfway through sleep, and may sleep on the side of the quilt. This phenomenon is also telling the parents that he wants a pillow.
Unsmooth breathing will cause the baby to unconsciously look for something to rest his head when he is asleep.
What to pay attention to when buying a pillow for your baby
1: The softness and hardness of the pillow should be suitable
Pillows that are too hard or too soft are not acceptable. When choosing a pillow, you should gently pinch the softness with your hands, and try to go to a physical store to have a look.
Pillows that are too soft can make your child's neck uncomfortable and make it difficult for them to breathe well.
A pillow that is too hard will cause some damage to the child's spine.
2: Choose pure cotton pillows
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 a good sweat-absorbing effect. Baby sleeps, sweats and drools easily, pure cotton has good water absorption effect and can effectively absorb the baby's sweat.
Secondly, buy pillows that are easy to change and wash. Because babies often drool, pillows should be washed frequently, otherwise bacteria will easily breed and have a certain impact on the baby's body.
