The spine of the baby's body gradually grows as the baby grows, and at the age of one, parents need to choose a pillow for the baby. But many parents don't know what kind of pillow to choose for their babies. What pillow is better for a one year old baby to sleep on?
Firstly, it is recommended that one year old babies sleep on pillows that are moderately soft and hard. At this age, the baby's skull development is not yet complete, the brine gate has not fully healed, and the skull sutures have not yet closed. A hard pillow can make the baby's head look unattractive and even deformed. Too soft a pillow can easily cause babies to turn over and suffocate. When parents choose pillows for their babies, they can choose pillows filled with cordyceps, buckwheat husks, etc., as the softness and hardness will be more appropriate.
Secondly, a one year old baby will sleep better on a pillow that matches their physical development. A one year old baby's spine has not yet formed, and a pillow that is too high or too low is not good for the development of the baby's spine. Generally, a pillow that is three to four centimeters high is more suitable and will not make the baby's head too high or too low. The length of the pillow should be equal to the baby's shoulder width, and the width should be equal to the baby's head height.
Additionally, it is recommended that parents choose pillows for their babies that are easy to change and wash. Babies have a fast metabolic efficiency and are prone to sweating. Some babies even love to drool, sweat, and saliva flowing into the pillow. If the pillow is not washed regularly, it may breed some bacteria in the pillow, affecting the baby's physical health and potentially causing the baby to fall ill.
