Children’s pillows emphasize stage applicability, and different pillows should be used for each period. In order to maintain physiological bending and maintain a comfortable posture, babies start to use pillows 3 months after birth. According to the baby’s development, gradually adjust the height of the pillow. The length of the pillow is the same as the width of the baby’s shoulders.
The texture of the children’s pillow should be soft, light, breathable and hygroscopic. It is recommended that the pillow core should not be made of too soft materials. Because children have many prone positions and it is not easy to adjust themselves. Pillows that are too soft can cause safety problems. The contact area between the pillow and the head can be made as similar to the back of the head as possible. The pillowcase should be made of pure cotton cloth.
Some parents mistakenly believe that a pillow with a harder baby’s sleep can make the skull grow strong and the shape of the head looks good. In fact, this is wrong. In children, the skull is soft, and the chimney door and skull suture are not completely closed. Long-term use of a pillow with an excessively hard texture can easily cause head deformation. Or cause one side of the face to be big and one side of the face to be small, which affects the appearance. Children have a strong metabolism, sweat more on the head, and tend to soak the pillow when sleeping.
Therefore, the baby’s pillow core should be exposed to the sun frequently. It is best to replace the pillow core once a year. Pillowcases should be washed and changed frequently and kept clean.
