Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Newborns generally do not need a pillow to sleep. They usually start using a pillow when they are around three to four months old. A newborn's spine is straight, and their physiological curves have not yet formed, so when lying flat, the back and head are on the same plane. Additionally, newborns' heads are relatively large, almost as wide as their shoulders, so side-sleeping is also natural and does not require a pillow.
