What if the baby's head sleeps flat? We all know that the baby's head shape is very important.

What should the baby do if he sleeps on his back? 1 The reason why my baby sleeps on his back.

1. Mother used external force in production.

When some mothers give birth, doctors may be forced to use negative pressure suction and forceps, which is more likely to form hematoma. After the baby is born, he is unwilling to sleep at the side hematoma, which is easy to form a partial head.

Mother's habit makes it so.

If the baby's left and right skulls are symmetrical after birth, and the mother is often used to lying in the same position to sleep, the baby is also prone to form a partial head at this time.

3, nutrition and genetic diseases and other reasons.

This is mainly due to the mother's head deformity caused by insufficient nutrition during pregnancy or other family genetic factors, which leads to the baby's head tilt.

First of all, observe more and find flat head syndrome early.

Always observe the left and right sides of the baby's head, front and back sides. When it is less than 6 mm, it can be corrected normally as long as you change your sleeping position frequently. When it is between 6 mm and 12 mm, it is moderate flat head syndrome. Suggest treatment. If it exceeds 12 mm, it shall be handled immediately. Generally speaking, we have observed with the naked eye that the baby's head is slightly asleep and the baby's head is slightly asleep.

Secondly, early prevention to prevent the baby from suffering from flat head syndrome.

You can use artificial methods to change your baby's sleeping position from time to time. Don't let him stare at his favorite direction for a long time. You can pay more attention to him when you have time. A more convenient and effective method can also be adopted. You can use Anqu baby's positive posture mattress to establish a correct sleeping position from the baby's birth, so that the head can be pressed evenly to prevent the occurrence of flat head syndrome. The prevention and correction of baby's flat head syndrome should be done as early as possible, generally within 6 months is the best time, otherwise the baby's skull will not recover itself after it is fully developed.

How to correct the baby flat head?

1, pad a little higher on one side of the baby's head or buy a styling pillow for the baby on the slightly off side of the baby's head, and pad it with something soft so that its head can't be off to this side at will. Or go to the baby shop to buy a shaping pillow, and the effect is also very good.

2. Talk to the baby in a different posture. When the baby is awake, the mother or family should sit on both sides and talk to the baby instead of just talking to the baby. Especially to the side where the baby sleeps, which is convenient for correction.

3. Massage the baby's neck moderately. According to the direction of the baby's head, often massage the baby's neck moderately to reduce the pressure on its neck. Over time, it will have a good effect. For example, if the baby's head is used to leaning to the right, massage his right neck.

4. Fix the baby's sleeping position with a rice bag. If the baby is used to a certain sleeping position, the corrected sleeping position cannot be maintained for a long time, or it is often turned back to the original sleeping position. At this time, it is more difficult. Mom can make a rice bag and put it on the baby's back pillow to fix the baby's head. If the baby is "to the left", let the baby sleep on the right, otherwise let him sleep on the left.
