When Can Your Baby Sleep With A Pillow?
Are you worried that your baby is still sleeping on a flat surface without a pillow? Sometimes, a baby can even suffocate if he/she uses a pillow. Read on...
Are you worried that your baby is still sleeping on a flat surface without a pillow? Well, you may not know that if your baby is below 2 years, it is not safe for him/her to use a pillow. Sometimes, a baby can even suffocate if he/she uses a pillow.
Actually, you should not worry or feel bad that your baby is sleeping without a pillow, in fact it is better to sleep without it.
As per studies, it has been found out that when babies are made to sleep on pillows, they are likely to either suffocate themselves or they might be at the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant death syndrome).
Moreover, if your baby's age is less than 4 months, then he/she is at a much higher risk and hence during that danger period, pillow is not at all recommended.
Sometimes, even after the risky period has gone by, pillows are not recommended for your baby so early.
The
Right
Age
For
Your
Baby
To
Sleep
With
A
Pillow
Your
baby
is
growing
with
each
passing
day
and
now
he/she
might
be
observing
you
sleeping
with
a
pillow.
In
some
cases,
your
infant
may
also
ask
you
to
give
him/her
a
pillow.
Although according to some pediatricians there is no particular age which can be safe for a baby to sleep on a pillow, a few experts believe that one year is the safest age to introduce a pillow to your toddler.
At one year of age, your baby's risk of getting suffocated decreases to a large extent. It is recommended that if your one-year-old baby still sleeps in a crib, then you must take out all the stuff that might trigger suffocation.
You should choose a firm, small and flat pillow for your baby. The better option would be to wait until your bay leaves the crib and starts sleeping on the bed.
Always avoid giving feather pillows to your baby, which are extra soft, as they can cause allergies and can choke your baby if his/her head goes under the pillow while sleeping.
Things
To
Ponder
On
While
Buying
A
Baby-Pillow
Once
your
baby
is
completely
ready
for
a
pillow
and
you
are
also
quite
confident
about
it,
the
next
step
is
to
consider
a
few
important
things:
1)
The
baby
pillows
should
be
small,
stiff
and
flat.
2)
Avoid
soft
pillows
to
prevent
suffocation.
3)
Avoid
down
pillows/feather
pillows.
4)
Feathery
pillows
have
pointed
ends,
which
can
poke
your
baby's
face.
5)
If
you
do
not
know
whether
the
pillow
is
firm
or
not,
just
press
it
and
observe
how
quickly
it
gets
back
to
its
shape.
In
case
the
pillow
takes
a
longer
time
to
regain
its
shape,
then
it
may
be
too
stiff
for
your
baby.
If
the
pillow
doesn't
get
back
to
shape,
then
it
might
be
too
soft.
You
need
to
choose
a
pillow
somewhere
between
too
soft
and
too
firm.
6)
Always
buy
polyester
pillows
that
are
non-allergic
and
more
durable
than
natural
fiber
pillows.
How
To
Start
Using
The
Pillows
Once
you
have
taken
the
decision
to
give
a
pillow
to
your
baby,
just
place
it
below
his/her
head
while
he
dozes
off
completely.
Now,
you
can
easily
watch
your
baby
and
can
be
rest
assured
that
your
baby's
head
remains
fixed
on
the
pillow
and
does
not
shift
too
much.
In case you observe that your baby's head is moving too much, just take out the pillow slowly and keep it away for a couple of weeks. After sometime, you can try again and once you are confident enough that your baby is sleeping correctly on the pillow, you can begin to use it during his/her bedtime.
