For mothers, even the smallest things are big things when their babies are young. Therefore, mothers will take special care of their babies in their daily lives, and even their little states will be valued by mothers. Especially when the baby is sleeping. So what's going on with the baby lying on their back with their head tilted to either side? Let's learn about it together.
What's wrong with a baby lying on their back with their head tilted to both sides
1. During infancy and early childhood, due to incomplete ossification of the skull, there is considerable plasticity between different bone fragments. In addition, the baby's neck muscles are not yet able to rotate the heavy head. When a certain orientation of the bone fragment bears the pressure of the entire head weight for a long time, its formed shape will be affected. Babies grow and develop particularly quickly, especially in terms of brain development, and their head weight is relatively heavy.
2. If parents do not pay attention to their baby's sleeping posture and let their baby's head always sleep in one direction, over time, the baby's head is prone to deformation. If the baby always sleeps on the left or right side, it will form a convex head, and if the baby is accustomed to lying on their back, it will form a flat head.
Prevent the occurrence of unhealthy head shapes in children
1. Don't sleep hard.
2. Pillow should be placed under the head, with a height of 3 centimeters and a width equal to the shoulders. The pillow should not be too soft, but should absorb sweat and be breathable. Reasonably use pillows.
3. Consciously let the baby sleep alternately in various positions, such as supine, lateral, and prone.
4. Babies should be given vitamin D and exposed to more sunlight to promote calcium absorption.
Through the previous text, I believe that all mothers have already understood the two issues of a baby's supine head tilting towards both sides and preventing the occurrence of unhealthy head shapes. Incorrect sleeping posture of a baby can lead to the baby's bones becoming longer and crooked, resulting in unhealthy head shapes. This is something that every mother does not want, so mothers should help their children change their sleeping posture in daily life.
