Time and Precautions for Using Baby Pillows As babies grow older, parents are often confused about when to start using baby pillows. Under normal circumstances, the time to consider using a pillow for your baby is after the baby is 3 months old. At this time, the baby can already raise his head and the development of the cervical spine is relatively mature. The specific time of use needs to be determined based on the actual situation of the child. In addition, you need to pay attention when using baby pillows. It is best to choose pillows specially designed for babies. Baby pillows should be as small and light as possible, and the corners of the pillow should be rounded to avoid irritating the baby.
