Pediatricians recommend that babies do not use pillow and the reasons are several and clear. To begin with, if a baby uses a pillow, it can force the natural curvature of his neck, since having a small neck and head proportionally larger than the rest of the body, the shoulder does not prevent adequate support.
In addition there are other risks that can seriously harm the baby, because if you turn around you can lie on your stomach and breathe your own carbon dioxide, as you do not receive oxygen, the outcome could be fatal.
If the baby when lying down needs to be a little reclined, it is also not convenient to use the pillow, it is much better to place a towel under the mattress that elevates half of his body and not just the head. Over the two years the child may claim a pillow like ours, specialists continue to recommend that if they can do without it, although if he sleeps on his side he can do well, but you have to choose a pillow suitable for him.
The pillow for a child should be quite thin or not too tall, not too soft and the same size as the bed. You must carry a washable cover of a very soft fabric and the materials, which are increasingly available, are recommended fiber, as they facilitate breathing and oxygenation.
