The baby of 0 to 4 months is the best time to adjust the head shape.
The newborn baby's skull is soft. As the baby grows up day by day, the baby's skull will gradually harden and shape. Because of the position of the fetus in the mother's uterus, or because of the extrusion of the birth canal, some newborn babies have ugly heads. Generally, the baby will gradually become round in the second month, and the back of the head can be adjusted by sleeping position.
Babies don't need pillows.
Newborn babies don't need to sleep on pillows. The baby's head is in line with the spine. If you let the baby sleep on the sheets directly, it will be too hard. You can fold the towel under it, and the height is preferably about 5 cm. So that the baby can sleep comfortably. A baby who likes to sleep on his back will have a flat head. If he likes round heads, he can sleep alternately on his left and right sides. Breast-feeding mothers should also exchange breast-feeding from left to right, so as to adjust the baby's head shape.
Can the baby's head shape be adjusted after sleeping?
It can be adjusted for babies under 4 months, and it is relatively ineffective after 6 months, so it is necessary to adjust the baby's head shape in time when it is found that the baby's head shape is deviated. You can look at the baby's head shape every day or every 3 to 5 days for comparison, and try not to let the head shape sleep too much.
Sleeping head type
My baby used an adult towel at that time. After folding it in half, put it directly under the baby's head, and the baby can sleep on his back. My baby likes to lie on his back, and he is seldom adjusted to sleep at will. The baby's head is flat.
Some babies like to move around and don't like being fixed. If you want your baby to have a fixed sleeping position, you can get a shaping pillow. You can make it yourself or buy one. You can make a shaping pillow by yourself, fold it into a rectangle with a towel, roll it up at both sides, and leave a baby's head position in the middle, or sew a rectangle with a piece of cloth, put 5-6 minutes of rice in it, push the rice to both sides, and leave a groove in the middle to let the baby sleep in the groove position, so as to prevent the baby from leaning to the left or right when sleeping, and make the sleeping posture head shape round.
