A new baby being born is such an exciting time for new parents. This may be especially true if it is the first born. However, if this is your first time having a child, there may be things you do not know about yet. There are numerous responsibilities that come along with having a baby. The comfort of the child is one of your biggest priorities. Comfort is important because the child will be able to relax and sleep, and if he or she can, you may earn some much needed relief, as well! A baby pillow is one often overlooked as one thing that can improve the comfort of your child, and yourself.
It is possible you think your child is too young for a baby pillow if your child is under 2. Doctors ONLY recommend baby pillows for children over two, so this could be the case. However, there are times when a baby pillow could come in handy before this time, and certainly after. Coughing can be lessened with the head propped up on a pillow if a child has a respiratory infection or cold. Also, in the case of an ear ache, relief can be found if a baby lies on his or her side, head propped up on a pillow. Of course, you will want to consult a physician in both of these cases to be sure that your child will benefit from the baby pillow in such scenarios.
Nursing can also be much easier with a baby pillow. A semi circular pillow can be used in this case to cradle the head of the child, so that your hands are free. If you use these nursing pillows for the neck of your child AND yourself, you can both be considerably more comfortable. In many cases, a baby pillow for nursing has helped children fall asleep.
You may still be very interested in having a baby pillow not just for nursing, but also in the crib with your child. In selecting the right pillow for your baby, there are some guidelines to keep in mind. A baby pillow that is small in size is the first guideline. Normal pillows are too large because the baby cannot move them and they could lead to suffocation. The second guideline is to pick something without any decorations such as beading or fringe. We do not want the child to yank off pieces of the baby pillow and choke on them. Cotton or silk are the best options for baby pillow fabric. Finally, you should be sure that the stuffing is not made of feathers, because that could cause an allergic reaction. In summary, the ideal baby pillow is made of natural materials, has no sewn on decorations, and is small in size. These tips can help you select a baby pillow that will put you and your child both at ease.
