Whether for boys or girls, head shape is also a factor that greatly affects aesthetics. Head shape, whether round or flat, has a significant impact on future life. However, how can babies have a good head shape? What should be done if a baby's head is off center, and how can it be corrected within a few months?
Baby's tilted head has the best effect within three months and is effective within a year, because the closure of the baby's fontanelle usually occurs between one and a half years old. At this time, the baby's head bones are slowly forming, and it is difficult to correct them. First, it is necessary to change the baby's long-term tilted head sleeping posture, occasionally help the baby turn direction, ensure the roundness of the bones, and choose pillows such as rice pillows, millet pillows, cassia pillows, etc., which can help shape the head.
No matter how good the correction method is, it doesn't have the same preventive effect. How can we prevent a baby's head deviation?
1. Correct sleeping posture. During childbirth, if a baby's head is compressed in a certain direction, they will automatically avoid the uncomfortable side when sleeping. Therefore, after birth, they have always liked to sleep on the left or right side. Mothers need to pay attention to their baby's sleeping posture and help them turn around more often.
2. Pillow. On the baby's pillow, use various filling pillows such as rice pillows and Xiaomi pillows in advance to prevent the baby's head from being easily shaped.
3. Calcium supplementation. If a baby lacks calcium, it can cause premature closure of the fontanelle. It is important to supplement the baby with vitamin D.
