Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The spine of a newborn baby is straight, and when lying flat, the back and the back of the head are on the same level. Moreover, the baby's head is particularly large, almost as wide as the shoulders, and there is no discomfort when lying on the side. If a high pillow is used at this time, the baby's neck will be in a bent position, while the throat and trachea, which are located in the front neck, will be excessively curved like a rubber tube. This will narrow the diameter of the respiratory tract in the bent area, increasing the resistance of airflow during breathing and making it difficult to breathe. When the baby's neck is excessively bent, even if breathing is not smooth, the baby lacks the strength to struggle. After a short period, the baby will exhaust its breathing strength, leading to weak breathing and potentially suffocation, which can be dangerous.
