Do I need a pillow newborn

If we turn to the sources, children from birth do not put special pillows under his head, and treated a folded diapers. But we should not forget that the environment still some 50-70 years was much cleaner, healthier people, generations have passed naturally, almost without aids, and are born healthy babies, without abnormalities in the cervical spine particular.

IMPORTANT! Currently, the number of children with congenital malformations of the cervical vertebrae, is growing steadily. The reasons are not only violations in the formation of the fetus, but also inept behavior of medical personnel in the process of childbirth.

To correct such problems pediatric surgeons often recommend orthopedic pillow. Due to the shape, it supports the baby's head, restricts rotation of amplitude and relieves the cervical spine. Normal, quadrangular pillow is not suitable for a number of reasons: the baby's skull is not formed immediately, the bones more like cartilage, and when the baby sleeping on one side or rigidly fixed, with emphasis on the back of the head, deformed structure - a flat back of the head, on the one hand, and asymmetry other. Violation of the natural position of the vertebrae not only leads to osteochondrosis and scoliosis early, but also to problems in the development of the nervous system.

But there is opposition views shared by some pediatricians. It stated that nothing can enclose under the child's head before reaching one year of age. After all, the kid tossed a pillow shifted, and the head takes an arbitrary position. For babies it does the threat to life - with his face, the baby can suffocate.

And to raise the head, you should use a small roller, which is placed under the mattress. In this case, the bed is a single canvas, and the child's head would be on a higher level than the feet that eliminate the possibility of regurgitation and ease breathing.

IMPORTANT! "Antiquated" way of tight swaddling babies have their logical explanation. Edge diapers accounted for under the back of the head, slightly above the neck, thereby supporting the child's head. But today's moms are choosing this way of diapering less and less.

It should be noted that every mother she knows which option is better for her child. Rely on a medical report on the health of your baby and its mother's perceptive intuition!
