What to pay attention to when choosing pillows for children

There are often private messages from mothers asking what to pay attention to when choosing pillows for children. Taking advantage of Children's Day on June 1st, Xiaoni comes to chat with everyone about this topic.

Height and width To be appropriate

When lying flat, the head and body should be on a horizontal line. When sleeping on the side, the line connecting the eyes should be perpendicular to the bed surface, and the length of the pillow should be longer than the baby's shoulder width;

Good ventilation. True heat dissipation

Babies have a strong metabolism and are inevitably prone to sweating, drooling, and spitting. If they have good breathability, they are less likely to produce bacteria;

Elastic force Moderate softness and hardness

The surface of the pillow is difficult to indent when pressed by hand, indicating that it is too hard. If pressed, it touches the bottom, indicating that the pillow is too soft. If the hand leaves the pillow, it can immediately return to its previous shape, indicating that the pillow is just soft and hard.

Choose pillowcases To be skin friendly

Those who come into contact with children's skin must be soft, breathable, and skin friendly. It is recommended to choose products containing pure cotton ingredients.

By age Segment selection

When choosing a pillow for a child, we need to choose it based on age, as the bone development and the required support for the head and neck vary at each stage.

0-1 years old

It is recommended to use a fixed pillow with a low center and high sides, and it should be breathable, soft and hard, to help sleep in a beautiful head shape and prevent flat, crooked, or boat shaped heads;

1-3 years old

The curvature of the cervical spine is just beginning to form, and it is recommended to use a pillow with a height of no more than 3cm based on the proportion of head and neck differences;

3-8 years old

The curvature of the cervical spine begins to develop and grow. It is recommended to increase the occipital height (not exceeding 6cm) and provide some support;

8-13 years old

Older children are in a rapid growth stage and need sufficient pillow height to support their neck. It is recommended to use high and low curved pillows to promote healthy cervical development.

The above is Xiaoni's sharing for this issue

I hope every baby can sleep well and grow well

Wishing all the childlike fathers, mothers, and adorable babies who have never lost their childlike innocence

Happy Children's Day
