Is it beneficial to correct baby's head shape by using shaping pillow?
First of all, the conclusion is that the use of styling pillows is not necessarily conducive to the correction of baby's head shape. Unlike the older generation, children must sleep with a flat head. Nowadays, mothers pay more attention to their children's growth and development, and hope that their children's heads will be more natural, preferably round. So what can be done to keep the baby's head developing naturally?

First, the wrong head shape is because the baby is sleeping in the wrong position.

Most newborns' skulls are in a soft and fragile stage. If the baby keeps a posture for a long time, one side of the skull will always be squeezed, which will lead to the flattening of the baby's skull, which is not conducive to the normal growth and development of the baby's skull. Therefore, novice parents should pay attention to the baby's sleeping position, so that the baby's head can develop normally. Without using a shaping pillow, they should also help the baby change a sleeping position from time to time to ensure that the baby's head will not sleep peacefully.

Second, can the styling pillow help correct the head shape?

Many mothers want to use styling pillows to help their babies correct their heads. In fact, styling pillows is not necessarily helpful to correct the baby's drowsiness, and may even cause other problems. The styling pillow will make the baby sleep in one direction intentionally or unintentionally, so the baby's head shape is more fixed because of the styling pillow. It is not recommended to use styling pillows to help your baby correct his head shape. When the baby is sleeping, we must help the baby change his sleeping position from time to time. This will ensure the normal growth and development of the baby's head. In addition, the first three months of the newborn are very important, but the head shape cannot be changed.

Third, sleep on a pillow.

It is not suitable for newborns to sleep with a pillow in the first three months, so the baby's cervical vertebra is straight at this stage, and it is better to sleep with a pillow for the baby after the baby's cervical vertebra has developed for a period of time. In addition, even after three months, if the baby feels uncomfortable sleeping on the pillow, it is not recommended to use this. Whether to sleep on the pillow depends on the baby's growth and development and his own feelings, not your own feelings.
