The baby's head is flat. What should I do if I sleep on my stomach? Which prime time can we seize to adjust? The baby's head is crooked and hurts, but many babies have this situation. Before the age of one, the baby's skull is too soft and easily deformed. When sleeping, the head will tilt, resulting in a flat or tilted head. Some are still sleeping, and their faces are different. The baby's face is big and small, which can also lead to visual impairment, mandibular dislocation and abnormal skull development.

In that case, how to see if the baby's head shape is all normal? Mother can hold the baby upright on her leg, then put her fingers in her ears and look down from her head to see if the fingers are on the same level. If so, that's normal. It is very common for babies to sleep on their side in daily life. What should he do if his head is flat? Only by seizing this prime time can we adjust!

Don't miss the golden time of adjustment. The baby's skull is constantly growing, but the baby's 4 months after birth is the golden time to correct the head deviation. After that, the growth rate of the skull will slow down, and the fontanel will meet and close before 1 to 1 years old, and the corrective effect of fontanel closure is not outstanding.

The way to adjust the baby has always liked to sleep in one direction or a sleeping position, which is the key reason for head deviation. Babies tend to focus on the side with parents or colorful furniture accessories. Therefore, parents need to adjust their sleeping posture and orientation for their babies from time to time. Even babies with normal head shape need to adjust their sleeping posture frequently, so that they can sleep on their left side, right side and flat as long as possible, and are not allowed to face in one direction for a long time.

Secondly, when the baby is not sleeping, relatives can hug the baby more, which can reduce the working pressure of the human body on the back skull when lying flat. With parents around, you can also let your baby lie down and play, which can not only reduce the work pressure on the top of your head, but also help to exercise the neck muscles, killing two birds with one stone!

At present, most of the popular "baby shaping pillows" on the market are not effective. Because the baby's cervical spine is straight, the use of pillow core is not only ineffective, but also may cause the baby's cervical spine to lean forward, endangering the baby's inhalation and sleep quality. After the baby 1 year-old, it depends on whether the pillow core can be used according to the baby's requirements. Even if the pillow core is used, it is not suitable for being too high, and it can be controlled within 5cm.
