Our sister Siiri found that her head was flat, and even after about three months, it was a little off. Because sister Siiri especially likes to sleep on her back and seldom sleeps on her side.
The newborn baby has a soft skull. If you are born with a single sleeping position or torticollis and are not corrected in time, it is easy to have a slanting head, which will have a bad influence on your baby's appearance to a certain extent. Moreover, the incorrect head shape may also lead to asymmetry of the baby's five senses, and even affect the functional development of his five senses.
So the head of Siiri, who is three months old, has a flat head in the picture.
Infant head development
1-3 months old baby has the softest skull. 3-6 months gradually hardened. It's getting harder and harder after six months.
This means that the baby's head shape of 1-3 months is the most prone to flattening and deviation.
Sister Siiri has my head problem in 2-3 months. In the meantime, I tried to intervene to correct my head failure.
How to solve the baby's head problem? In principle, the baby within 6 months can alleviate and solve the baby's head shape problem by artificially interfering with the baby's sleeping position.
But we also need to act according to the actual situation, and we can't dogmatically cut across the board.
Sister Siiri is obsessed with sleeping on her back. After half a month's intervention, I decided to buy a shaping pillow recommended by Dr. Cui to help solve my physical problems. After all, girls' heads are not good-looking, which not only affects their faces, but will also be ugly in the future.
Then it started, where to go, where to go. Put your head on the pillow.
For the baby with flat head over 6 months, it is necessary to see a doctor, seek the help of the doctor, try to correct the helmet and help solve it. This time will be very troublesome.
My friend's baby is eight months old. I didn't notice that the baby's head shape is not true, which led to the asymmetry of the baby's face.
It's already in the range of serious head deviation. At this time, you must seek medical help. Wearing a corrective helmet will make the whole rescue process more complicated.
How should the baby sleep? For this problem, I have always respected my baby's own sleeping habits, because the baby will choose the most comfortable sleeping position by himself. What adults need to do is to respect the baby.
If there is a head problem, you can give priority to intervention and then take physical intervention in time to help solve it.
We should always pay attention to the growth of babies. Find out the problems in parenting in time and solve them in time. I wish every baby a perfect head shape.
Mother Tutu said, I wish you a healthy and happy growth.
Finally, send a photo of Siiri's sister's corrected head shape.
How can a newborn sleep to raise a good-looking head shape? Many novice mothers are struggling whether to sleep on their backs or on their backs. In fact, mothers should pay attention to the following details whether they sleep on their sides or on their backs.
First, it is often said on the Internet that it is dangerous for newborns to sleep on their backs. The newborn's stomach is flat, which is easy to cause milk overflow, while sleeping on the back is easy to choke into the trachea, which is dangerous to the baby, or flows into the ear to cause otitis media. In fact, these dangers can be solved.
The causes of neonatal milk overflow are generally as follows:
1. Breastfeeding posture is wrong. When breastfeeding, the baby inhales a lot of air, causing the baby to overflow milk.
Suggestion: Mothers should try to avoid the wrong feeding posture in the process of breastfeeding, which can effectively reduce the chance of baby's milk overflow.
2. After formula feeding, the baby didn't burp in time, resulting in milk overflow.
Suggestion: Mothers can burp their babies in time after feeding.
The baby cried loudly and inhaled a lot of air, which caused the baby to spill milk.
Suggestion: When the baby is crying, the mother needs to appease the baby in time and find out the reasons for the baby's crying, such as smelly, too hot, too cold and uncomfortable. And solve it in time.
4. After the baby eats milk, it will turn the baby over or lay it flat, which is also easy to cause milk overflow.
Suggestion: After feeding the baby, try to turn over the baby as little as possible.
When the mothers have solved these reasons for the baby's milk overflow, it is ok to sleep on your back. The advantage of sleeping on your back is that it is not easy for your baby to grow into a left brain or a right brain, but you can't sleep on your back for a long time and need to sleep alternately with your side.
Second, sleeping on the side Generally, newborns sleep on the side, and the probability of tilting their heads is also high. The main reason is that mothers have not mastered the correct sleep methods.
When a baby is born, I usually let him sleep on his left side today, on his right side tomorrow and on his back the day after tomorrow. In this way, a beautiful head shape will come out. As long as you don't sleep in one direction for a long time, basically the baby's head shape will not be too bad.
What should I do if I think my head is crooked? Actually, don't worry too much. There are ways to correct it. If the head is tilted early, mothers can intervene manually. For example, if the baby's head is to the left, we can choose the baby to sleep on the right side. If the baby has a right head deviation, we can choose to let the baby sleep on the left side to solve it. If it is head deviation caused by sleeping on your back for a long time, we can choose to let the baby sleep alternately on the left and right sides. If the baby is over 6 months old, you need to go to the hospital for guidance and help from a doctor.
Third, the sleeping newborn should try not to choose to sleep. A few days ago, a newborn was exposed by WeChat group and died of suffocation, which sounded the alarm for us. If you choose to let the newborn lie down, then mothers should try not to look at the baby to avoid accidents.
Conclusion: Newborns can't choose one of them for a long time whether they sleep on their back or on their side. Mothers need to change their sleeping position frequently, so that their babies can have a beautiful head shape.
After the baby is born, sleeping takes up most of the time, about 14 16 hours. Looking at the lovely baby, the new mother always wants him to sleep comfortably.
So what posture should you choose for your baby's sleeping posture? The new mother is very concerned. What if the baby falls asleep? You can take turns sleeping, which requires new mothers and family members to help your baby change his sleeping position. From the above analysis, it is best for the baby to lie on the right side. However, because the baby's bones, especially the skull, have not been finalized, it is easy to cause the baby's skull to be long if it is often in a sleeping position, which will affect the baby's future image. In our hometown, there has always been a saying that we should lie flat on the back of our head and sleep. Although it is not advocated now, we should pay attention to the baby's head shape. Because at this time, the baby's skull has not been finalized and is soft. If you stay asleep for a long time, it will cause long-term oppression on the same part of the head, which often leads to long-term deviation of the baby's skull. If it is not corrected before the age of 2, the skull will be shaped after the age of 2, and it is difficult to recover. When you grow up, it may affect your appearance and your later life. Therefore, new mothers should pay attention to often helping their babies to change their sleeping posture and prevent their skulls from growing out. If the baby's head has been found to have a sleep deviation, you can let the baby choose the other side to sleep when sleeping in the future, and it can be corrected slowly.
How can the baby sleep soundly? Do a good job in preparing your baby for bed. Sleeping soundly is not only important for new mothers to have a better rest, but also important for their own growth and development. But some new mothers will always find out why other children can sleep until dawn, while their own babies always wake up and cry repeatedly. So what can I do to make my baby sleep better? It is best to prepare the baby before going to bed.
The skull of the newborn has not been completely ossified, and there are still more and more gaps between the bone fragments, which is extremely plastic. In addition, the newborn's neck muscles are not developed, so it can't turn the head, so when the bone fragments on one side bear the pressure of the whole head weight for a long time, its shape will be affected. That is to say, newborns don't pay attention to their sleeping posture, and their heads are tilted to one side for a long time. After a long time, it will be asymmetrical, commonly known as "sleeping on your stomach."
Traditionally, newborns should sleep on their backs, and the back of their heads should be flat to look good. In fact, the baby's head shape is born, not by whom to sleep. Blindly staying asleep will change the baby's head shape and affect the appearance. If you want your baby to have a beautiful head shape, you need to pay attention to changing the position of the pillow when sleeping. You should sleep on both sides, horizontally in the middle, and alternate sleeping positions to make your baby sleep perfectly.
For example:
1. Don't use the baby shaping pillow for three months.
2. Don't let the baby keep the pillow posture for a long time, and help the baby turn over in time.
3. Breastfed babies habitually face their mothers. Mothers should also pay attention to feeding the baby on the left side this time and feeding the baby on the right side next time.
Whether sleeping for a long time during the day or at night, supine position is recommended, which is also the safest sleeping position and suitable for infants under one year old. If the baby's sleeping posture becomes sleeping on his side or on his stomach, parents can try to help the baby turn over first and let him continue to sleep on his back.
In addition to ensuring that children sleep on their backs, parents should also avoid putting their babies on particularly soft objects such as pillows, quilts and cotton pads. Don't put plush toys and stuffed animals in the crib. The safest bedding is a hard mattress with sheets. It is recommended to share a room with different beds. If parents smoke, drink or take sedatives, it is not recommended to sleep with the baby.
The main reason of neonatal head deviation is that the baby's head control strength is insufficient and the neck and back strength is weak. In this case, with the growth of the baby's age, the head control is stable and there will be no head deviation. Secondly, with the growth of the baby's age, the sleeping head will basically grow up by itself. During the day, you can lie down or sleep on your stomach under the supervision of your parents to reduce the local oppression on the back of your head, which will also help your head to be round.
I believe that many treasure moms will have one or two styling pillows at home. I feel that this thing is tasteless and its function is not obvious. My family used a thin silicone pillow from the beginning, but now we use a thicker one. My baby was a little biased at first, but now it has been corrected a little, much better than at first.
Sleeping on one's side and sleeping on one's back are also controversial topics for many treasure moms. Some people think that sleeping on the side is better, while others think that sleeping on the back looks good. In fact, no matter what kind of sleep form, it is most important for the baby to sleep safely.
Why do you choose to sleep on your side? First, if you have to choose, it is better to sleep on your side. Side sleeping is a kind of sleeping position recommended by experts, because she always keeps this position in the uterine cavity when the newborn is born. If she sleeps on her side within 24 hours after the baby is born, it will be more conducive to discharging the water and mucus inhaled by the newborn during childbirth.
Second, sleeping on the side will also be more conducive to the growth and development of the fetus. Because the baby is in the neonatal period, all organs of the body are in the development stage, especially the heart is more fragile. Sleeping on the side can effectively relieve the oppressed organs and make them develop better.
Third, sleeping on the side can also effectively prevent the situation of choking milk. I believe that when the baby is born, because the stomach is small and gentle, most babies will have milk overflow. Especially at night, some precious mothers have the habit of sleeping with milk, and sleeping on their side can prevent the fetus from choking after overflowing milk.
Compared with sleeping on the side, sleeping on your back has many disadvantages. First, it will affect the internal development of cerebellum. Because the brain tissue of the newborn is very soft, if it is not properly cared for, it may affect the baby's intellectual development. The cerebellum refers to the back of the head. If you sleep on your back when you are young, the cerebellum will be slept off a lot, forming a flat head. This will directly affect the development of cerebellum.
Second, it is easy to cause the danger of suffocation. The situation of neonatal milk overflow is more frequent. Some time ago, I saw a news that the baby's milk spilled in the middle of the night was not found in time. It was not until I got up the next day that I found that my baby had never woken up. I went to the hospital immediately and failed to rescue him in time. Sleeping on your back may cause food in your stomach to flow back to your esophagus, which may cause vomiting, so it is not recommended for newborns to sleep on their backs.
Sleeping on the side has many advantages, but sleeping on the side for a long time will inevitably lead to the deformation of the baby's head. If the baby's head is found to be deviated, it can be improved in time and may change. Pillows are not recommended for the first 0-3 months. At the beginning, children will sleep for a long time, and in the neonatal period, the sleep time of one day can reach 17 hours. At this time, you can properly swing your baby's head and forbid him to have a fixed sleeping position. At this time, it is also forbidden to sleep on your stomach, because sleeping on your stomach will also affect your heart.
After the second or third month, you can use a softer pillow. At this time, if there is deviation in the head, you can see it. If it is mild, you can move your baby's head while sleeping. You can also change the feeding direction. At this time, many baby mothers will have milk to sleep, so you can change the habit of feeding appropriately. When parents should pay attention to correction, let the child lie on his side with his head protruding.
The baby's head shape seems to be an eternal topic between the older generation and young parents. Many old people insist on letting their babies sleep on their backs, even letting them sleep with pillows, or fixing their sleeping positions with styling pillows. This sleeping position is not only bad for the baby's head bone development, but also easy to cause safety problems. So is it suitable for newborns to sleep on their sides or on their backs? How can we help the baby shape the perfect head shape?
Advantages and disadvantages of neonatal sleeping on the back and side.
Advantages: The baby lying flat on the bed is conducive to the baby's muscle relaxation and free movement of hands and feet, and it is also convenient for the family to directly and clearly observe the baby's expression changes. If the baby spits milk, it can be found in time and handled in time.
Disadvantages: If you can't help your baby adjust his head position in time after sleeping on his back for a long time, it may affect his head shape and appear head deviation. For babies who are particularly prone to vomiting or spitting milk, when lying flat, food with reflux may choke into the trachea and lungs, which poses a certain safety hazard.
Side sleep
Advantages: lateral sleeping can reduce the secretion of therapeutic substances in the throat and make the respiratory tract more unobstructed; When the baby sleeps on the right side, food can smoothly enter the intestine from the stomach, which is beneficial to digestion; If vomiting occurs, vomit will also flow out of the corners of the mouth, which will not cause suffocation.
Disadvantages: If you lie on your side in one direction for a long time, it will easily affect your baby's head shape and face shape.
Combining these two sleeping positions with the baby's three characteristics, we come to the conclusion that whether sleeping on your back or sleeping on your side has an impact on your baby's head shape; Babies who spit milk easily are more suitable for sleeping on their side.
What are the precautions for newborns sleeping on their side? After the newborn drinks milk, let him lie on his shoulders and burp effectively. After about half an hour, put him on a sloping bed, with his head above his feet, and lie down to the right.
How to help your baby shape the perfect head shape? In some places, the custom holds that a girl's flat head looks good with a whip, and a boy is easy to grow into a Chinese face, so a newborn baby goes to bed with a book in his arms. In addition to being unsightly, a flat head may also make the protruding part of the occipital bone more vulnerable to injury. Therefore, whether it is for the face value or for the baby's health, don't deliberately let the baby sleep flat.
If you want your baby to sleep well, the key is to guide your baby to turn his head more, instead of "fixing" his head! Common methods are:
1 When sleeping with the baby, the mother's own position should be changed at any time: sometimes sleeping on the baby's left and sometimes sleeping on the baby's right;
When the baby sleeps on his side, he should take turns to sleep around: sleep on the right this time and sleep on the left next time. Parents should always help their babies to change their sleeping position.
3 If the baby is used to sleeping in a crib, you can change the position of the crib regularly, or change the position of the small toys hanging on the crib to guide the baby to turn his head in different directions;
4 when mother is breastfeeding, pay attention to feeding both breasts; Feed the left first this time, and feed the right first next time.
5 when the baby is awake, guide ta to play more; When the baby is lying down, the skull is not oppressed, which is the most natural state of the skull.
⑥ Talk to your baby from different sides and tease your baby with toys from different sides.
To give your baby a beautiful and healthy head shape, you must refuse to set it, fix your head with bricks and sleep with pillows! Through these small methods, you can make your baby's neck more flexible, change the sleeping position, and let your baby fall asleep with a healthy and beautiful head shape.
Thanks for reading!
Is it suitable for newborns to sleep on their sides or on their backs? Newborn babies had better sleep on their backs.
The baby's sleeping positions are supine, lateral and prone.
Although, there is a lot of data to prove that babies who sleep on their stomachs are smarter and are good for exercising their vital capacity.
However, for newborns, prone is easy to block the baby's nose and mouth, causing suffocation.
Newborn babies had better sleep on their backs. As the baby grows up, it will be better to choose the right side position, because the right side position does not oppress the heart and is conducive to gastrointestinal digestion.
What should I do if my baby falls asleep? When my baby was born, in order to prevent her from spilling milk, she always lay on her right side after feeding. As a result, she got into the habit after she left the hospital. No matter how to help her straighten up, she finally leans to the right. After more than half a year's hard work, I finally got a good sleep on the little guy's head!
For babies under 6 months, you can try to correct the baby's head shape in the following ways:
1. Adjust the feeding direction of the mother.
When the baby's head has fallen asleep, parents are advised to adjust according to the direction of the baby's head.
Most babies like to tilt their heads in the direction of their mothers and are interested in light, sound, shadow and color. Therefore, mothers can switch to the other side of the baby to feed.
For breast-fed babies, mothers can alternate breasts on both sides.
2. Exercise your baby to look up
Exercising your baby's head up is the most effective way to prevent and treat your baby's drowsiness.
How to operate specifically?
After the baby's full moon, you can try to let the baby lie flat for a short time, for example, let him lie flat for half a minute at first, and then gradually increase it to 1 minute, 2 minutes and so on. In about 2-3 months, the baby can hold his head high and lie prone on the bed.
In the process of looking up, the baby not only does a lot of exercise, but also reduces the time when the head is affected by external forces. Over time, the baby's head shape will naturally look good.
Moreover, when you exercise with your head up and lying flat, your vision will be widened, which is also conducive to the development of attention and observation.
Simple tip: regarding the shaping pillow, the physiological structure of the baby's neck is different from that of adults. The baby's spine is straight. When the baby lies flat on the bed, the brain spoon and back are almost at the same level. If you add a pillow to your baby at this time, it is easy to bend its head and neck, interfere with your baby's breathing and swallowing, and even cause suffocation.
When can I use a pillow for my baby?
When giving your baby the first pillow, you need to pay attention to the factors such as the softness (hard but comfortable) and size (not too thick) of the pillow.
To sum up, the baby's head shape is not only affected by daily habits, but also related to innate genes.
Finally, remind parents and friends that they must adjust their head shape on the premise of ensuring their baby's comfortable and stable sleep. Don't lose big because of small!
It is better for newborns to sleep on their side or back!
I'm a mother of two babies! Dabao's head is flat! What about Bao Xiao's? Really round! Let me share how I take care of my babies and how they sleep!
1 If the child just begins to fall asleep, don't hurry to tidy his head! Don't adjust his direction until he falls asleep.
If you are still a breastfeeding mother, it depends on your personal habits! If you are used to sleeping and feeding, sleep. Hey! No, not used to it. Then hold it. Hey! I put it down when I'm full and asleep.
Mom has to go back and forth on both sides to sleep next to the baby! If it's just a nap, the child will get used to looking for his mother in this direction.
You can also make a baby pillow by hand! Take some rice and put it in it! No matter how the child sleeps, his head is round! This method was told to me by the older generation.
Finally, I personally think that a child's head shape can be anything! As long as the child is healthy.
The newborn has just come out of its mother's stomach. Newborns can't fully adapt to this world, and neither can novice mothers. They have to take care of a little baby. Some newborns sleep very well, sleep when they are full and eat when they wake up. But some newborns don't sleep well. Do they sleep on their side or on their back?
Sleep on your back
Many parents of newborns are used to letting their babies sleep on their backs, which is convenient for checking the baby's condition, completely relaxing the body and reducing the pressure on organs that are not fully developed. Studies have shown that it is safer for babies to sleep on their backs, especially newborns. The sudden death rate dropped by 70%.
It is easy for newborns to overflow milk when they sleep. It is not easy to expel milk from the stomach back to the esophagus and gather in the throat, which is easy to choke the trachea and lungs and cause suffocation.
The newborn's head is not formed. If you sleep on your back for a long time, you always sleep in one direction, which is easy to cause head deviation and affect your appearance, especially for female babies.
Because the baby is curled up in his stomach, lying on his back is easy to feel insecure and easy to wake up.
Side sleep
Sleeping on the side can be divided into sleeping on the left and sleeping on the right, which can relax the muscles of the whole body, help the baby digest and breathe smoothly, and reduce sudden death caused by excessive milk or vomiting.
Because the baby's cardiopulmonary function is not fully developed, sleeping on the side can reduce the pressure on the heart.
Lying on your side can change the position of the soft tissue of the throat, reduce the spontaneous flow of secretions and reduce the snoring of your baby during sleep.
Novice mothers should always adjust their sleeping posture to avoid baby's asymmetrical facial development and tilt their heads.
You can choose your baby's sleeping position, so you don't have to stick to one. It can be decided according to parents' preferences and baby's habits or specialties. But please remember that the baby should not sleep on one side for a long time, which may cause asymmetry in the size of the head and face. The baby needs to be observed by adults at any time when sleeping to ensure the safety of the baby.
