Can a three-month-old baby use a pillow? How many centimeters can a three-month-old baby use a pillow?

Pillows are something we almost always use when we sleep. A good pillow can help relieve head pressure and relax the body. So what should a three-month-old baby pay attention to when choosing a pillow?

You can use a pillow, but be careful that the height of the pillow should not exceed two centimeters. You can fold a towel in half and place it under the baby's head. The choice of pillow is also very important, which is conducive to the baby's sleep. A good sleep for the baby can promote blood circulation in the head and neck, and the pillow can support the cervical spine. The thickness of the pillow should be adapted to the curvature of the baby to be the most suitable.

When the baby is about three months old, you can choose a pillow that is 2 to 3 cm high. And the hardness should be appropriate, not too soft or too hard. From three months on, the baby learns to lift his head, and the spine also presents a natural physiological curvature, not as straight as when he was just born, and the baby's shoulders also become wider. At this time, you can use a pillow. At this stage, you can use a short pillow for the baby.

When choosing a pillow for a three-month-old baby, you should pay attention to its antibacterial and anti-mite capabilities. Pillows are made of cotton and are prone to mites on their surface. Too many mites are harmful to human skin, especially for babies with delicate skin. If there are too many bacteria on the baby's pillow, it will also cause a lot of discomfort to the baby. In addition, don't think that a three-month-old baby is very small and you should use a very soft pillow. It is critical to pay attention to the hardness of the pillow. Another thing is the height of the pillow. A three-month-old baby can use a 3-4 cm high pillow. In addition, you should also pay attention to the hygroscopicity and breathability of the pillow.

When choosing a pillow for your baby, pay attention to the color and material. Choose white or light-colored fabrics. The pillowcase should be sweat-absorbent, light and breathable, and moderately soft and hard. You can put buckwheat husks in it, and many people also put mung bean husks, tea leaves, chrysanthemums, etc. However, you cannot put foam or silk cotton as fillings, so as not to affect the baby's health.
