Is it necessary for babies to wear corrective helmets?
Infant corrective helmet is a medical aid. As a mother of two children, I have learned something from myself to analyze, and think that only when the doctor asks me to use it, I need to wear it for my children.

In fact, the problem of children's head shape has always been concerned by everyone. When we were young, we always kept the shape of a flat head, so at that time, parents would make some hard pillows for their children, hoping that they could sleep on their backs. Rice pillows are popular here, which are uncomfortable to use, but the effect of flattening the head is leverage. However, fashion is a circle. When we were young, flat head was a fashion trend. We are willing to wait until we grow up and start to say that a longer head shape will look better. In particular, some experts say that a long head shape will make children's IQ higher.

I don't know if this statement is correct, but everyone wants to give their children the best things, not to mention the head shape that affects their image. So now everyone's head shape has changed, but it's really hard to say what children will look like when they grow up. Therefore, there is no need to use this external force, especially an inexpensive orthosis, to correct the child's head into a certain shape. In particular, the quality of the current corrective helmets is mixed, and some parents customize them online for convenience. In this very standard situation that even the child's head circumference has not been measured, it is very uncomfortable to give the child something that needs to be worn for 23 hours.

Of course, if the child's head shape is particularly nonstandard and may even affect the child's IQ, it is still necessary to wear a professional corrective helmet for the child under the guidance of a professional doctor. Under normal circumstances, this corrective helmet still needs to be adjusted from time to time. However, relatively few children need to use corrective helmets. Contrary to what is rumored, most children need to use this helmet, and when the child's head shape is corrected to a certain extent, they will not continue to use this helmet, so there is really no need to abuse it, and you don't know if it is really good for the child's head shape.

If the child's head shape is just a little crooked, it can actually be adjusted by her sleeping position, and her head shape can also be adjusted by the daily living habits of the child within two years old, so there is no need to give him these things at first. The head is our most important organ and needs better natural development. If it is banned from the beginning, a standard is actually very bad for the natural growth of children.
