The right pillow is an important basis for restful sleep and healthy development, especially for babies and kids. To help you choose the right product, here are our top tips to help you make the right choice the first time so your little one can sleep soundly. Once you know what to look for, it will be much easier.

Key points for choosing children's pillows

1. Within three months, there is no need to use a pillow or a special pillow for babies! When a newborn baby sleeps lying down, the back and the back of the head are on the same plane, and the muscles of the neck and back are naturally relaxed, so generally use some lower baby pillows. Pillows, no problem.

2. The texture of children's pillows should be soft, light, breathable, and hygroscopic. It is recommended that the pillows should not be made of overly soft materials, because children often lie on their stomachs, and it is not easy to adjust themselves. Pillows that are too soft will have safety problems. The contact area between the pillow and the head can be made as similar to the shape of the back of the skull as possible. The pillow can be made of silk, which is soft and breathable, and maintains a good degree of comfort. It can be used for both winter and summer and can be used for heating and cooling.

Pillow Safety Questions

The safety of children is the first priority. The pillow itself may not cause serious safety problems, but because the baby cannot adjust itself, the sleeping position may also cause safety problems such as suffocation: this problem may occur in both back sleeping and stomach sleeping, First of all, the pillow chosen for the baby must not be too soft, and the parents' care must be timely and serious. Another care-related problem is that the baby moves the head and the pillow falls off: after the full moon, the baby has enough strength to move the head, so if you look closely at the infant, you will find that, usually about an hour after the baby goes to sleep, the head will fall off. They tend to leave the pillow, so adults must always pay attention to and take good care of the baby to avoid accidents caused by the pillow slipping away when the baby starts to use the pillow.

How to Correct Head Shape

A reasonable "sleeping position" plays a decisive role in the baby's head shape, and choosing a suitable "sleeping position" is the main method to correct the baby's head shape. Before talking about the "sleeping position", the first thing to warn parents is that they must not let the baby get used to a certain sleeping position. Once this position is fixed, it will be even more difficult to correct it. If some mothers hear that the baby should sleep on the right side, they keep letting the baby sleep like this. As a result, the head sleeps sideways, and it is difficult to correct the habit. Therefore, the baby must be adapted to various sleeping positions. Do it from day one. It is generally believed that lying on the side is the best "sleeping position" choice for babies, but it must not be forgotten that when lying on the side, the method of lying on the left side and lying on the right side should be adopted alternately. Experts suggest that changing sleep positions frequently is beneficial for babies to sleep with a beautiful head shape. You should change your sleeping position every 2-3 hours.

Sanitation and Material Issues

The material of the baby pillow surface cloth should also choose a material with good air permeability, so as not to be too stuffy and airtight to make the baby allergic. The baby pillow cover can choose a smooth silk pillow cover. In addition, the baby's metabolism is strong, the head sweats a lot, and the pillow is easy to soak when sleeping. The sweat and dandruff mix and it is easy to make some pathogenic microorganisms, mites, dust and other allergens adhere to the pillow surface, which not only emits an odor, but also It is easy to induce bronchial asthma or causes skin infection. Therefore, the baby's pillowcase and pillow core should be washed and dried frequently.
