Picture of correct sleeping position for postpartum baby
During the confinement period, the baby\’s sleep quality has an extremely important impact on health. Correct sleeping posture can not only help your baby sleep more peacefully, but also effectively avoid various adverse consequences caused by improper sleeping posture. Therefore, here, we will introduce to new parents how to make their babies sleep more comfortably and thus ensure their health.
Pay attention to the choice of bed
For newborns, their bones are not very strong, so the choice of bed is very important. A bed that is too hard or too soft is bad for your spine and bones. Therefore, we recommend choosing a standard newborn bed and mattress set. The mattress should be thick enough to ensure that the baby can get better support when sleeping. The bed should also be kept dry and clean to avoid excessive humidity and dust that may affect your baby\’s sleep.
Pay attention to the height of the pillow
The spinal development of newborns is not yet complete, so we should pay special attention to choosing a suitable pillow for the baby. The height of the pillow should not be too high and should generally be lower than the baby\’s head. This can effectively prevent the adverse reactions of newborns caused by improper pillow height. Also note that the pillow should be soft and comfortable so that the baby can stretch more freely while sleeping.
Correct sleeping position
The sleeping position requirements of newborns are different from those of adults. Especially during the confinement period, the baby\’s sleeping position is particularly important. Correct sleeping posture can effectively avoid adverse reactions caused by sleep, such as suffocation, difficulty breathing, etc. It is recommended that new parents sleep on their backs, which is conducive to smooth breathing and is also beneficial to beauty and health care. Of course, when sleeping, you must be careful not to cover your baby with too many quilts to avoid overheating and affecting sleep.
Maintain good sleeping habits
Good sleeping habits can effectively protect your baby\’s sleep quality. It is recommended that new parents develop a fixed sleep time and avoid frequently disturbing their baby\’s sleep time. At the same time, appropriate massage and relaxation activities are recommended before going to bed to help the baby fall asleep faster. In addition, sufficient burping time should be maintained after feeding, holding and other activities to make the baby more comfortable.
To sum up, the correct sleeping posture plays a vital role in the health of your baby. I hope new parents will make relevant preparations and follow the methods described in this article to provide the best sleep environment for their babies.
