Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-01-29

The question of how old a baby can be a pillow has troubled many new parents. In fact, the use of baby pillows needs to be decided according to the age and physical condition of the baby.

1 0-3 months baby: At this stage, the baby's spine is not fully developed and is not suitable for using pillows. If parents use a pillow for their baby at this stage, it may cause pressure on the baby's spine and affect the baby's growth and development.

2 3-6 month babies: At this stage, babies begin to learn to raise their heads and roll over, and their spine begins to develop gradually. Parents can gently put a towel or small pillow on the baby while he sleeps to help him maintain the natural position of his head and neck. However, it should be noted that the pillow used by the baby at this stage should not be too high, generally no more than 2 cm.

3 Babies over 6 months old: At this stage, the baby's spine has gradually matured, and some small pillows with moderate hardness can be used. However, it should be noted that when parents choose a pillow, they should choose a pillow that is suitable for the baby's age and physical condition, so as to avoid pressure or damage to the baby's head and neck caused by being too hard or too soft.

In short, the use of baby pillows needs to be decided according to the baby's age and physical condition. When choosing a pillow, parents should choose a pillow that is suitable for the baby's age and physical condition to avoid pressure or damage to the baby's head and neck. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to keeping the baby's sleeping environment comfortable, quiet, and suitable temperature, so that the baby can grow up healthily in a good sleep environment.
