For the newborn baby, if the parents don't pay attention to let the baby sleep for a long time in a posture or direction, it's easy to sleep the baby's head off, so what about the baby's head off? Can you correct it?
How does baby head sleep slant do?
The baby's head doesn't sleep well. It can be corrected slowly. The baby's bones are soft, and it's easy to sleep in a long-term fixed position. It's suggested that the mother should often change the position for the baby. You can also let your baby sleep on rice pillows, buckwheat pillows or shaped pillows, and let him sleep in the opposite direction when feeding, so that he will sleep in the opposite direction after forming a habit. Sleep in one direction for half a month, do not sleep in one direction for a long time, and adjust his sleeping posture after getting up often at night. If the baby likes to lean to the left, the mother can use the pillow pad under the baby's left head, and try to let the baby sleep to the right. At the same time, the mother should try to sleep on the right side of the baby at night, because the baby likes to face the mother when sleeping, so it can be adjusted slowly. If the baby prefers the right side, the mother can let the baby sleep on the left side.
Generally speaking, as the baby grows, the head shape will be corrected automatically, so parents don't have to worry too much. The shape of the baby's skull gradually matures with the development of the brain, and its shape will be gradually corrected. However, because the baby's skull is soft, it is difficult to correct before the age of 1-2, and there is no effective method of early treatment. Even at the age of two or three, I still feel that my baby's head shape is ugly, and I don't need to worry too much. Pay attention to supplement nutrition for my baby. Until the end of adolescence, my baby's head shape will basically form a fixed shape.
However, if the baby has a serious habit of only looking in one direction, it may affect the development of head shape. At 7-8 months, the baby's playing time is longer and longer. In this period, we should pay attention not to let the baby only look at one direction, but to let the baby move his head more.
Why does a baby sleep sideways?
Some parents always let the baby sleep in a fixed position, or even in a fixed posture, which is easy to make the baby sleep on the side ', leading to the head shape is not correct.
The baby's bone is very soft and easily deformed when subjected to external forces. If you sleep in the same direction for a long time, the weight of the head will inevitably produce lasting pressure on the part of the skull at the contact surface, resulting in that part of the skull gradually sinking, and finally forming a flat head.
Can a baby sleep on a pillow?
A lot of parents have a question after the baby is born, that is, should we use the shaped pillow for the baby? Parents all hope that the baby can have a small round head, but can the shaped pillow really meet this wish?
In fact, pillows are not necessary for babies. The back of the brain is called the cerebellum. The development of the cerebellum in infancy is very important for the future of the baby. Baobao is just born, so it's unnecessary to use a pillow. If parents use a shaped pillow or put a hard object under the baby's head to flatten the baby's back brain, it's very unscientific to hope to pillow out the so-called best looking flat head spoon, which will affect the normal growth and development, and even cause breathing difficulties.
The newly born baby's spine is straight, the back and back brain are at the same level when lying flat, and the baby's head is relatively large, almost the same width as the shoulder, and there is no discomfort when lying on the side, so, in general, no pillow is needed. But whether the baby needs a pillow or not should be decided according to the specific situation. Some babies often spit milk. At this time, the folded towel can be placed under the head instead of the pillow.
The main function of the stereotyping pillow is to prevent the baby's head from turning and not to compress the baby's cervical vertebra. If the baby sleeps on the wrong side of his head and it is difficult to correct it, he can try to use the shaped pillow. The requirement of baby pillow is to have a pit suitable for baby's head.
Generally speaking, when the baby grows to 3 months, you can prepare a small pillow for the baby. Pillow soft and hard to appropriate, not too high, can change the height of the pillow with the increase of the age of the month, too high pillow easy to make the baby spinal dysplasia. Pillow is best made of mung bean skin and grain chaff. Fill pillows with corduroy or leftover tea after drying, which can prevent heatstroke and reduce temperature and inflammation in summer, and it is easy to absorb sweat and prevent cold. It can't be too soft or too hard. The safety problems such as suffocation should be considered for the soft pillow core. The long-term use of the hard pillow core may affect the appearance of the baby's head and face.
In addition, the anti side sleeping pillow designed to keep the baby in a specific sleeping position can increase the risk of suffocation to some extent. However, if the care is in place and safety measures are taken, the impact of the shaped pillow on the baby's health is not significant.
If the nursing is not in place, there will be some side effects - the baby's metabolism is vigorous, the head perspires a lot, plus the saliva and other wet pillows, which are easy to make pathogenic microorganisms adhere to the pillow surface, and easily induce facial eczema and scalp infection. Therefore, the pillowcase must be all cotton, which should be changed and washed frequently. The pillow core should be exposed to the sun frequently. It is better to change it once a year.
