Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Newborn babies have a straight spine. When lying flat, their back and back of the head are on the same plane, and their neck and back muscles are naturally relaxed. When lying on their side, their head and body are also on the same plane. If a pillow is used too high, it can easily cause the neck to bend, and in some cases, it may even lead to breathing difficulties, thereby affecting normal growth and development. Therefore, newborns do not need pillows. However, to prevent spitting up, their upper body can be slightly elevated when necessary.
