Baby flat head pillow is a pillow designed to prevent babies' heads from flattening while sleeping. Babies' skulls are softer and more flexible than adults' skulls. Therefore, if babies keep their heads in the same position all the time, flattening of the skull may occur. This condition, also known as flat head syndrome, may cause an aesthetic problem and may also restrict the head and neck movements of babies.
Here are some points to consider when choosing a baby flat head pillow:
-
Shape and size of the pillow: Make sure the pillow is suitable for your baby's age and head size.
-
Filling material of the pillow: Make sure the pillow is suitable for your baby's skin and sensitivity.
-
Washability of the pillow: If you need to wash the pillow frequently, choose a pillow that is machine washable.
Before using a baby flat head pillow, it is important to consult your doctor. Your doctor can help you determine the most appropriate pillow for your baby.
Benefits of baby flat head pillow include:
- It helps prevent flat head syndrome.
- It improves the baby's head and neck movements.
