What kind of pillow is good for babies? What kind of pillow should babies sleep with?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After 3 months, you can choose a suitable pillow. The length of a baby pillow should be equal to or slightly wider than the shoulder width, slightly wider than the head length, and about 5 cm in height. The pillowcase is best made of cotton fabric to ensure softness and breathability. The pillow filling should have a certain degree of softness and can be chosen from buckwheat hull or down. A pillow that is too hard can easily cause the baby's skull to deform, which is not conducive to head development; a pillow with too much elasticity is also not good, as when the baby lies on it, the weight of the head compresses, causing half of the scalp to press tightly against the pillow, which may hinder blood circulation. Cotton pillows and foam pillows have poor ventilation and heat dissipation performance, making them unsuitable for summer use.
