As young parents, we must pay attention to our children's sleep knowledge. After all, their skulls are thin and soft, and if their sleeping posture is not appropriate, they are prone to sleeping with their heads off center. So how can newborn babies prevent their heads from sleeping crooked?
The methods to prevent newborn babies from oversleeping are as follows:
1. Frequently changing sleeping positions. From the day the baby is born, parents should be accustomed to changing their position to help the baby fall asleep, such as left, right, supine, and prone positions, to ensure that the force around the baby's head is evenly distributed and the baby sleeps with a good head shape. Remind parents that babies are prone to suffocation when sleeping on their stomach, so do not leave your baby.
2. Swap sleeping positions with my mother. Babies and mothers should frequently switch sleeping positions, as babies have a natural tendency to sleep with their heads facing their mothers. To prevent his head from tilting, the baby and mother should frequently switch positions to sleep.
3. You can't always breastfeed on one side, as the baby is too young and usually falls asleep while feeding. Eating the same side of the milk can easily cause the baby to sleep on the wrong side, so it's necessary to alternate feeding on both sides.
4. Help the baby manually turn. If the baby's head is tilted while sleeping, parents should gently turn the baby's head back in time. Although manual steering may be a bit troublesome, it is worth parents' efforts for the normal growth and development of their babies.
5. When the baby is sleeping, you can place a pillow or a thick book cover on the side of the baby's head that is tilted, so that the baby cannot turn back freely, which can have a corrective effect.
The above are the correction methods for preventing newborn babies from sleeping with their heads tilted, which are suitable for those newborns who always sleep with their heads tilted. It should be noted that the baby's head is already fixed after six months of birth, and the earlier the correction effect, the better, so don't miss this best opportunity.
