In order to give babies a beautiful head shape, many mothers start buying various pillows that shape their heads. However, there are also mothers who do not approve of babies using pillows because babies are still young and in the process of development, and using pillows may affect the development of the spine and bones. So, can babies use pillows?
Babies can use pillows, but it varies from person to person. If a baby is about two months old and has a tendency to vomit milk, they can use a towel folded into a one centimeter high pillowcase to effectively prevent the baby from spitting milk.
If the baby is about four months old now, they can start using pillows that are about two centimeters high. When the baby is about eight months old, a pillow about four centimeters high can be used.
Although babies can start using pillows, parents should also choose pillows that are suitable for their babies. If the baby cannot hold the pillow tightly with a pillow now, parents can ask the baby to stop using the pillow or use a small pillow specifically designed for infants and young children.
In addition, do not use a high pillow for your baby, as they are still in the stage of growth and development. Using a pillow that is too high may cause the baby's spine to bend. At the same time, when using a pillow for babies, it is important to choose a pillow with a breathable and soft core, and then regularly expose it to the sun to kill viruses, clean it regularly, and maintain hygiene.
