Newborn baby should be careful with pillows

"Wow, cute little pillows!" This is often the sigh of the expectant mother in the store against the various styles of baby pillows. Indeed, “cute” often becomes the strongest buying power when preparing bedding for small babies. The baby pillow in the middle of the circle, the large lotus leaf lace, the animal shape... It’s really dizzying, but the price is not expensive anyway, just buy two more turns. Because - "It's so cute!"

But for babies, especially for babies born within three months, the role of the pillow is not just "cute", but rather a more comfortable breathing position for the sleeping baby. Therefore, the right pillow for the baby is the key!

[Mom is an adult, the head is comfortable with the pillow]

Mom must be used to using a pillow while sleeping. Sleep is a period of relaxation. For an adult mother, choose a moderately stiff pillow to support the weight of the head, not only to avoid direct contact between the skull and the hard mattress, but also to sleep on the side. The appropriate height of the pillow can also fill the gap between the head and the back, so that the head is fully supported on the pillow. When the mother sleeps and uses the pillow, the posture of the head and chest is high, so that the lungs are in the upper position. Because of the gravity, there is no pressure from the abdomen, and the lungs are easier to expand, so the mother will breathe comfortably.

[The same posture, the baby feels like bowing]

Although it is comfortable for my mother to sleep on the head with a pillow, it feels very different for small babies.

Infants and young children's heads protrude from the back. When lying on their backs, the back of the head and the shoulders are flat, which will bend and bend the neck of the front neck, while the throat and trachea of ​​the respiratory tract are located in the front neck. The curvature, like a rubber hose, narrows the inner diameter of the airway here, increasing the airflow resistance during breathing, making breathing more laborious.

If the pillow is placed on the baby's head at this time, the baby's front neck will be more curved and the breathing will not feel comfortable. Mother may wish to try to shrink the chin, bend the head and neck, and feel that breathing is not smooth. And this is the feeling that the baby's head cushion sleeps while sleeping on the pillow. The neck bends forward and presses the respiratory tract, as if the head is sleeping.

Infants and young children, especially those within three or four months, have large and heavy heads and weak neck muscles, so the neck muscles are unable to control the position of the head. This can be confirmed by the following actions: When the baby's upper body is straightened, the head will sway or sag.

When the baby's neck is over-bent or poorly postured and there is a lack of breathing, it is also unable to struggle. After a short period of time, when the breathing power is exhausted, it will cause suffocation due to inability to breathe. Especially when the baby is sick, the whole body is originally weak, and it is impossible to adjust the position of the head and neck by itself, which is prone to danger.

[Sit on the pillow on the upper shoulder, the baby breathes most comfortably]

Mother, please remember that if you want your baby to sleep properly and sleep well, what you have to do is not to buy a pillow with a hollow in the middle and always keep the baby's head in that hole. What you should do is -- The towel is rolled into a cylinder about 5 cm high (or a 5 cm high baby pillow) and placed horizontally on the lower neck of the baby. This allows the head to sag naturally and reach the bed surface. At this time, the neck and chin can naturally extend completely, and the respiratory tract can be free from compression.
