Babies go through various stages after birth, and attentive mothers will pay attention to each stage of their growth, including when to sleep with a pillow. This is very particular because it can have a certain impact on the quality and development of a child's spine. So, when do babies start using pillows?
Babies can choose a suitable pillow after the age of one, and the texture of the pillow core is very important. The texture of the pillow core should be moderately soft and hard to ensure that the pillow can support the neck well. Pillows that are too hard can cause discomfort, while pillows that are too soft may pose a risk of suffocation. It is not recommended to choose pillows made of seeds, feathers, synthetic fibers, etc. Green beans, buckwheat skins, etc. as the pillow core are prone to mold.
Early use of pillows can actually be detrimental to the development of the child. You can use towels to cushion the shoulders or use pillows specifically designed for newborns to fix the head and help adjust sleeping posture. At the same time, after using pillows to sleep, mothers should also pay more attention to their babies' reactions at night and see if they are averse to pillows.
As time goes by, although young children's bodies can now use pillows, it is important to pay attention to adjusting the height of the pillows. The height of pillows that can be used varies depending on the growth cycle. Generally speaking, at around three months old, the height of a child's pillow should be around one centimeter. Afterwards, the height can be increased according to the growth and development of the child's body.
