When the baby is born, the head bones are symmetrical, but at this time, the baby's head bones are soft, and the bones develop rapidly after birth, which is easily affected by external forces, thus making the head deformed, that is, sleeping on the stomach. After the baby sleeps head-down, the skull at the back of the head will protrude and flatten.

Methods to prevent babies from sleeping with their heads on their pillows.

Mothers can prevent their babies from sleeping with their heads up in the following ways:

Choose a pillow with moderate hardness for your baby. Too soft a pillow can't stabilize the baby's head well, and it's easy to sleep with your head on it. A pillow that is too hard may also let the baby sleep with his head on it. If the baby is found to have the habit of leaning his head to one side when sleeping, when choosing a pillow for him, it is best to choose a pillow with a fluid filling, such as buckwheat husk and barnyard grass. In this way, when the baby sleeps, the filler on which side is biased will be pushed up to prevent him from being biased again.

Change your baby's sleeping posture frequently. Nature makes the baby like to turn his head in the direction of his mother, so the mother can often change positions with the baby, so that the baby's left and right skulls will receive a more balanced external force.

How to correct the baby's partial sleep?

If the baby doesn't sleep properly, the mother doesn't have to worry. Before the baby is 2 years old, especially before the fontanel is closed, the eccentricity of sleeping can be corrected. Mothers can refer to the following practices:

Using millet as a pillow can fix the baby's head better than other fillers, so that the side of the baby's head is more stressed and can be corrected slowly.

The mother stays on the more prominent side of the baby's head, so that the baby will often put more pressure on the prominent side to correct the head deviation.

Often help the baby massage the skull on the side with the prominent back of the head, because the baby's skull is soft at this time, and massage has a certain effect on correcting the baby's head deviation.

Don't be too strict with your baby's head shape.

As long as the mother takes appropriate measures, the baby can have a beautiful head shape, but if the baby's head shape cannot be corrected, the mother should not mind too much. The head shape has no effect on the baby's health, but it is not beautiful enough. When the baby grows up, just give him a proper haircut, and this shortcoming can be covered up.

Every mother wants her baby to be perfect, so she pays attention to every growth and change of her baby from birth. However, it should be noted that scientific methods must be adopted in this process. After all, the baby's health is the first.
