Patient's question:
Doctor, our 4-month-old baby has developed a head tilt. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The length of a child's pillow should be equal to or slightly wider than their shoulder width, with a width slightly longer than the length of their head, and a height of about 5 centimeters. 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 made of buckwheat hulls or down. A pillow that is too hard can easily cause the child's skull to deform, which is not conducive to the development of the head. A pillow with too much elasticity is also not good; when the child lies on it, the weight of the head compresses the pillow, causing one side of the scalp to press tightly against the pillow, which can impede blood circulation.
