1. The impact of baby pillow height on the baby
Baby pillow height refers to the height of the pillow. Pillows of different heights have different effects on the baby\’s sleep quality and physical health. If the pillow is too high or too low, it will have a negative impact on the baby\’s cervical spine and spine, and even cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing.
2. How to choose the appropriate height of baby pillow
1. Consider the age of the child
Babies from newborn to 3 months old should use pillows with a height of 0-2 cm; babies from 3 months to 6 months old can use pillows with a height of 2-4 cm; babies over 6 months old can use pillows with a height of 2-4 cm. Pillows with a height of 4-6 cm can be used.
2. Consider the child’s physical condition
If your child has cervical or spinal problems, choose a lower pillow. If your child has problems such as difficulty breathing, you should choose a material that is taller, softer, more breathable and easy to clean.
3. Pay attention to the material
It is best to choose materials such as natural cotton, natural latex or memory foam. These materials have good softness, good breathability and good moisture absorption, which can ensure the comfort and health of the baby.
3. How to use baby pillows correctly
1. Do not let your baby use the pillow alone
Babies under 6 months old should not use pillows, and babies over 6 months old should use pillows under adult supervision.
2. The placement must be correct
The pillow should be placed under the baby\’s neck, not under the head or back. This reduces pressure on the cervical vertebrae and spine.
3.Regular replacement
In order to maintain hygiene and comfort, baby pillows need to be replaced regularly. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to replace it every 3-6 months.
4. Summary
Choosing the appropriate height of your baby\’s pillow has an important impact on your baby\’s sleep quality and physical health. Correct use and regular replacement are also very important. I hope parents can take their children\’s sleep health issues seriously and give their children a good, comfortable and safe sleeping environment.
