Sleeping on your back all the time is easy to get a flat head. When a baby is born, he won't turn over, even for several months. So if parents don't help, children always sleep on their backs. The baby's skull is very soft and easily deformed within one year. It has been sleeping on its back, and the pressure on the back of its head is relatively high, which will gradually flatten out. The disadvantage of a flat head is that it is easy for the baby to grow into a big round face. In order to prevent the baby's head from flattening, parents can occasionally turn over the baby when sleeping. If the baby can't support himself, you can put a pillow on the back of the baby. Pay attention to the balance when turning over, don't just turn over to one side.
Changing sleeping positions frequently can make the baby's skull compressed evenly. After one year old, the baby's skull will become hard and not easily deformed, so the baby under one year old should pay attention to changing sleeping positions frequently when sleeping. However, parents should be careful not to let the baby sleep on his stomach. Some people think that when a baby sleeps on his stomach, his head bones will not be stressed, so his head will not be deformed. However, when sleeping on our stomach, we can't observe the baby's appearance, and we can't see whether the baby is blocked by the quilt, which is easy to cause the baby to suffocate.
Carefully choose the head shaping pillow. In order to meet the needs of customers, baby head shaping pillows have also appeared in the market. Parents need to think carefully when buying shaped pillows. Because the baby itself is an active role, even if he sleeps on a stereotyped pillow, he likes to move around, which may cause the pillow to hinder the baby's breathing. Therefore, when the baby uses the shaping pillow, parents must pay attention to the baby's situation in time, and don't hurt the baby because they want to sleep a beautiful head shape for the baby.
