Why SPINEBO Kids
The right age to start using a baby pillow
When a baby is born, all the body parts are aligned. As the child approaches the sixth month, most babies have gained enough strength in their neck and upper body to hold their head up with minimal effort. At this age, the spine also starts bending forwards in preparation for the sitting pose. Using a pillow at this age helps to maintain the bend psychologically. This ensures the baby remains comfortable without straining to sit up as the body demands.
The right pillow for an Infant
A baby pillow should have a height of at least 3cm and adjusted gradually as the baby develops. The length of the baby’s pillow should be as broad as the baby’s shoulder. This will ensure the baby gets the right support, with no strain on the body. Keep in mind a thick pillow may be uncomfortable for your child’s little neck and spine, which are still developing. Instead, look for a small, flat, firm pillow that cradles and supports the head without causing your toddler to strain.
Benefits of a baby pillow
Optimal support
Toddler pillows are designed around your baby’s proportions, allowing for a comfortable sleep while providing your little one’s developing body with optimal support. It prevents neck aches while child sleeping and offers the necessary support to ensure that the young one doesn’t suffer from stunted growth.
Even temperature distribution around the head
Infants can sometimes sleep for hours before they wake up for a feed. Keeping the head raised ensures the baby does not sweat too much on one side, leading to discomfort. An evenly distributed temperature ensures your baby sleeps longer and wakes up well-rested.
Improves blood circulation
A baby pillow ensures adequate movement of blood to the brain and the other developing body parts. The pillow you pick should not alter the baby’s natural posture instead, it should only make your baby feels supported and prevent general discomfort.
