Good sleep actually contributes to the healthy growth of babies. But there are also hidden conditions during sleep that are not conducive to the healthy growth of babies, the most common of which is the problem of their sleeping position. But this issue has also been questioned by many mothers. Does a child's sleeping position affect their development?
Sleeping with hands on pillows
Many babies sleep with their hands under their heads after birth, which actually gives them a sense of security. However, this sleeping position is actually very bad for babies and detrimental to their development. This sleeping position can affect the baby's blood circulation. Over time, it can damage the baby's esophagus and cause gastroesophageal reflux.
Open your mouth and breathe
Mothers will definitely notice that their babies' mouths are not closed during sleep, but open, which makes them feel cute. Actually, breathing through the mouth is not good. There are many bacteria and dust in the air. If a baby breathes and sleeps with their mouth open for a long time. Not only does it affect the baby's sleep quality, but the lungs are also easily stimulated by cold air. Over time, it can cause the baby to catch a cold and have a fever.
Sleeping with your head covered
In fact, this phenomenon is not only loved by babies, but also by many adults who like to sleep with their heads covered. Actually, this sleeping method is unscientific. Because covering your head while sleeping can increase the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease oxygen levels. Over time, it is easy to experience nightmares, dizziness, and fatigue. It can cause serious damage to the baby's brain.
