Xiao fen found that the baby's head was a little off center shortly after Bauer was born, so at the suggestion of her sister-in-law, she always used a plastic pillow to correct it. After two months of persistence, she found out why she still slept askew. This made her feel sad. She is worried that her daughter's bad hairstyle will affect her future appearance.

First, it is a normal physiological phenomenon for newborns to sleep on their stomach.

In fact, it is very common for newborns to sleep with their heads tilted. Because there is no ossification at the edge of their skulls, if their heads always face one side when sleeping, the compressed side will slowly deform, leading to the occurrence of head tilt. Of course, there are genetic factors.

Second, shaping pillows is not helpful for children's head deviation.

Because the child can't keep still according to our posture, when he moves, the shaping pillow will also press the baby's head, which will not avoid the occurrence of head deviation.

Third, there are many potential hazards to the baby. The newborn's spine has no cervical curvature. Using a pillow will cause unnecessary compression on the cervical spine. Plastic pillows are also in danger of choking your baby. It is very likely that when the baby moves or turns over in the middle of the night, the pillow will cover the baby's nose and mouth, affecting normal breathing and causing danger.

Fourth, since the styling pillow is useless, how can we prevent the baby from sleeping?

1, always change your baby's sleeping position and direction.

2. Usually, mothers or family members should pay attention to changing their postures and talking to their babies to prevent them from maintaining a posture for a long time.

3. When Ma Bao is lying on her side at night, she should pay attention to changing the left and right directions to avoid one-way breastfeeding for a long time.
