Urgent! Does the baby need to sleep on his stomach? When can they go to bed?

The concept of sleeping head modeling has a long history. When we were young, our parents gave us a sleeping head shape, and we liked to sleep flat on the back of our head. In their aesthetic consciousness, a flat head looks good. Some old people even put a hard pillow on the back of the child's head when the child is sleeping, just to give the child a big flat head. As we all know, when children grow up, they are not satisfied with their head shape, in fact, they are.

Therefore, you must give your baby a head shape. Whether it is a boy or a girl, a good-looking head shape can add points to the child's image temperament.

In the first three months, the baby's sleep time is about 16 ~ 20 hours, and he sleeps most of the time. At this time, the baby's bones are soft and the seams are not closed, which is the best time for the baby's head sleep. If you want to sleep well, parents can start with the following points.

Note: It is suggested to change the sleeping position from half an hour to one hour. The newborn baby's skull is very soft. Don't let the baby stay asleep all the time, which is easy to cause head deviation.

You can adjust your baby's head shape 6 months ago. If the baby's head is a little off, don't worry, just adjust it in time. As long as you follow the above method, I believe the baby will have a round and full head shape when sleeping.

My advice to this problem is that you must sleep in your head! And it is very effective, because my baby has a sharp head when he is born (see Figure 1). Later, after nearly two months of hard work, the normal head shape was basically restored. Let's share our practices below, hoping to help you.

First, the baby can start sleeping in two weeks. The picture below is a photo taken when the baby is full moon. It can be clearly seen that the head shape is abnormal at this time, and the back of the head is obviously long [laughing and crying]. At that time, my wife and I were still worried about what to do after this. I was still a girl, and how ugly it was to grow up without sleeping! In particular, the doctor who listened to the tube bed said that she had a niece, and the head shape born was exactly the same as our baby. My family has been sleeping with her head since she was a child. Now she is still sharp at the age of 12, and we are even more worried after it has no effect. Later, we asked many doctors and nurses privately, and most of their suggestions were that you can sleep in your head, but the final effect depends on fate, not that you can achieve the desired effect. We are not discouraged, we are determined to put sleep first, that is, adults should be tired during this process, and babies should stare at it when sleeping.

Second, the baby 0 ~ 3 months is the best time to shape the head. Because at this time, the skull has not been finalized and is soft. As long as the method is proper, it can still be successfully shaped, and the head shape is basically finalized after 3 months. Figure 2 shows how we shaped the baby's head at that time (it was not yet full moon). The method is primitive and simple, but the effect is very good! We put three books (not very thick, the size of a magazine) under the baby's head, and then put two pillows on both sides of the head to clamp the head, so that the baby can only sleep on his back. It should be noted here that the pillow must be clamped on his head, not too low, in case the baby's head comes over, and the pillow blocks his nose and mouth and causes difficulty breathing. Of course, adults are having a hard time at this time, so keep an eye on her and avoid covering your mouth and nose. So we insisted on letting the baby sleep for almost three months, and the result was very unexpected.

Third, the scientific and reasonable sleep mode is really effective. As long as it lasts for 2 to 3 months, it will be successful. Figure 3 is a picture of my baby 100 days. It can be seen that the head shape has been basically corrected at this time, and the back of the head is round and no longer sharp. So if the baby's head is not straight, be sure to sleep in it. If he persists for a few months, it will have a great effect. If you gave up and didn't insist, you will regret it now. When the baby grows up, I will definitely blame you.

Well, I'll share my personal experience here. There are no technical terms, only popular vernacular. I hope it can really help you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Thank you for your support!

Hello, I'm a second-born mother. Take my baby as an example to answer this question.

My opinion is that if the baby's head shape is normal after birth, that is, there is no point, flat head and eccentric heart, there is no need to sleep according to the head shape. On the contrary, if the above head shape appears, it is necessary to help the baby correct it. After my family was born, Dabao's head looked normal, but at grandma's insistence, he gave the baby a flat head. My second treasure may have been squeezed into my stomach by internal organs because of fetal dislocation. Although it was a caesarean section, the head was particularly sharp, so it was corrected decisively. Now her head grows well.

In fact, the aesthetic habit of giving babies a flat head began in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, I gave my child a flat head to make it easier to twist his head and braid his hair. In addition, sleeping on your back can also make your face more round and look more blessed, so this aesthetic habit has continued. However, the crew cut that the old people are deeply proud of is a modern crew cut. Although it will not affect the child's brain development, western medicine generally believes that the round head has the largest brain capacity. So is the crew cut really nice? You will have the answer if you look at the picture below. Modern people's aesthetics still generally tend to look better with a round head, so if the baby's head is normal, there is no need to sleep with a flat head.

Babies with crooked or pointed heads at birth, or many parents who take care of their babies for the first time, are completely inexperienced and often let their babies sleep on their side. After a long time, the baby's head shape is obviously biased, and it needs to be corrected at these times. If the baby's head shape is not good-looking, it will also affect the face shape. Parents should observe the baby's sleeping condition, master the characteristics of the baby's sleeping position, and then help the baby to change his sleeping position frequently. It is recommended to change a sleeping position after 2-3 hours to help prevent the baby's head from developing malformations.

Parents can use pillows reasonably according to the characteristics of baby's head shape, or choose suitable shaping pillows for babies who already have head shape problems to correct them. My family Bauer gave her a plastic pillow as shown below, because she was born with a pointed head. Because it is pointed, she fixed her head and slept on her back. The baby's pointed head was relieved by the principle of gravity. Now the baby is 4 months old and basically can't see the tip.

However, parents must pay attention to the fact that people like my family who need to let their babies sleep on their backs must stay with them, because babies are young and easy to spill milk and choke, so don't be careless. In addition, it is necessary to choose a pillow with a thickness of no more than 0.3cm for the baby who is one month younger, because the baby's cervical vertebra has not developed well and is not bent. A taller pillow will hurt the baby's cervical vertebra, which is not worth the loss.

This is my answer to the baby's problem of falling asleep. Welcome comments and exchanges.

Hello, I'm "Good Birth Theory" and I'm glad to answer your question.

Answering "Is the baby sleeping in a head shape?" We must first understand what a head shape is.

Sleeping head shape refers to changing a baby's sleeping position by putting books on his head within three months after his birth, so that he has a beautiful head shape. This custom is widely circulated among the people and deeply loved by the older generation.

The custom of sleeping in a flat head originated from Manchu. In Manchu, a flat head and a big face symbolize wealth and happiness. Later, this custom spread to the people, so there was a saying and aesthetics of "newborn sleeping flat head". In fact, sleeping in a flat head is only good for the elders, and the younger generation thinks that a flat head is not good-looking. On the contrary, many young people think that a flat head is ugly and prefer a natural round head.

The answer is definitely yes. Everyone wants their baby to have a beautiful head shape, but it's not a flat head as the elders said. Because from a scientific and healthy point of view, it is not only bad for newborns to sleep in a flat head, but also bad for their baby's development. Although the custom of sleeping with a flat head will not cause serious head deformation to the baby, sleeping with a flat head may destroy the normal brain cavity structure of the baby and affect the development of brain capacity. Severe deformity may cause the baby's brain capacity to be insufficient and affect the normal development of intelligence.

So don't deliberately give your baby a hairstyle, especially a flat head. On the contrary, we should pay more attention to the baby's sleep quality. Under the premise of ensuring the baby's comfortable and stable sleep, properly adjust the head shape to prevent the baby from sleeping in one direction for a long time, resulting in head shape deviation or face size. To avoid this situation, just let the baby change his sleeping position from time to time. The specific operation method is as follows:

Change the baby's sleeping position every one or two days, and try to avoid the baby staying in the same sleeping position for a long time. It is best to lie on your back, on your left side and on your right side alternately, so that your baby can sleep well without affecting its development.

In short, the baby's correct sleeping position should be free and comfortable, don't deliberately fix it, try to avoid keeping a sleeping position for a long time, and change sleeping positions frequently. Three months after the baby is born is the key to the shape of sleeping head. If asymmetry is found, it should be adjusted in time, because the baby's head shape is basically fixed after three months, and it will become very difficult to adjust.

★ Comfortable sleeping position, no need to deliberately fix the baby's head.

★ After feeding and burping, it is best to keep the baby lying on his side. This sleeping position can ensure that there is no danger when the child chokes milk, and it is easy to spit out the milk without choking the trachea.

★ Ensure that the light in the sleeping environment is appropriate and uniform, because the baby likes to sleep in the direction of light and mother under the instinctive attraction. Over time, it is easy to have a head tilt and asymmetrical faces on both sides.

★ There is nothing dangerous around when the baby sleeps.

In addition to not deliberately cutting the baby's hair, novice parents should also be careful not to use pillows for newborns too early, try to use pillows after the baby is three months old, and ensure that the height of the pillows does not exceed two centimeters.

Are you satisfied with the baby's head shape? Round head or flat head? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion.

Babies need head sleep. It is possible for babies to sleep in a flat head within 100 days after birth. At the end of the day, the baby's head shape is fixed and it is difficult to change. This is also my own personal experience of taking care of the baby. I hope I can help you.

Does the baby need a head shape to sleep?

Today's treasure mother may listen to the old people at home saying, "If you want a baby with a good head shape, you should go to bed early after birth." So can the baby's head shape at birth be plastic with a pillow?

In fact, some experts pointed out that when a baby is born, the width of the head and shoulders is the same because the back and back are on the same plane. If you apply a pillow at this time, it will damage your baby's fragile spine and cervical spine; So pillows are not recommended. If the baby's bed is too soft, his head will sink; New mothers also need some low pillows to balance their bodies!

Under normal circumstances, when the baby is 3 months old, the cervical vertebra has a curved arc; Bao moms can cut their babies' hair at this time.

In theory, babies from 3 months to 6 months can change their head shape through pillows! And it is best to control it at the age of six months, because at this time, the body will not have big movements and will sleep relatively honestly! After waiting for 3 months, the baby developed well and moved more, so it was difficult to sleep ~

Generally, there are two kinds of sleeping heads: side sleeping and supine sleeping, which can also be carried out alternately. Sleeping on the side can effectively prevent the baby's asymmetry on both sides, and sleeping on the back can relax the baby's body and reduce the pressure on the baby's internal organs. If you want your baby to have a good hairstyle, then Ma Bao should seize the best opportunity!

The older generation all want to give their children a hairstyle. They think that sleeping with a flat head is the best for them.

My Dabao, as a novice mother, knows nothing. My mother-in-law is completely concerned about the baby's head shape in the second month. The cylinder with towels and paper towels between the two sides is used to put everything that can be padded, just to fix the baby's head and sleep. If the baby leans slightly, straighten it immediately. So in the second month, she easily slept on my big treasure's head and was very proud.

My second treasure said that the boss was annoyed, which is absolutely true. After arriving at Erbao, her mother-in-law was there the next month, but she never helped Erbao move again. She said that her task was to help me pick up Dabao, and nothing else. Moreover, this guy Bauer is quite noisy. He almost sleeps with his arms on his arms and has little time to touch the bed, so Bauer's head is convex until the full moon. My mother-in-law is disgusted. She keeps saying that I don't cut my baby's hair. It's hard for me to say it

It's really hard to say whether to sleep with a hairstyle. According to the older generation, it means sleeping, including my mother, which means sleeping for the baby. However, from the perspective of scientific parenting, it is not recommended to sleep first.

However, for the sake of beauty, it is still necessary to properly adjust the sleeping posture of some babies, and don't sleep on the baby's side, because it is easy to sleep the baby's head flat and affect the beauty. I don't think it is necessary to sleep straight and flat like an old man, but we must pay attention to turning the baby over, because the baby is habitually sleeping on his side.

The best time to fall asleep is in the second month, that is to say, we should pay attention to adjusting the baby's sleeping posture in the second month, and don't let the baby sleep flat. There is no need to have a conflict with your mother-in-law. If she helps you fix the baby's sleep, let her do it. If she asks you to watch your sleeping head, don't let the baby sleep.

There is no standard for this question, and the child's head shape depends on the mother!

My child, because he hated the back of duck eggs and wanted him to sleep with his head round, kept him lying flat. On the third day of his birth, I gave him a pillow book. My grandmother said that it was smart for children to go to school with pillow books in the third grade, and I did the same. My two children sleep well on their heads, and they are both very smart, and their academic performance is among the best!

Grandchildren, granddaughters, that's what I did. They all have a round head like their father, which is very beautiful and they are also very smart. Sun Tzu was admitted to a famous university! Granddaughter was also admitted to a key middle school! Top five!

You should be very careful if you want your child to grow a round head. Don't let her lie on her side. The first three months are the key. If you find that your head is crooked, you can point the high side of your back at your mother when you sleep at night, and the child will find milk on the side of your mother's face and slowly correct it!

I said these are all my thoughts. Young people nowadays don't agree. It is popular to let children lie on their side with big backs and long faces. It is said that this is good for brain development and good-looking face! Both my niece's children are like this, big flat head!

Because of different ideas, I look at the big flat head ugly, but they think this head shape is very fashionable. Of course, other people's own children have the final say!

What kind of head you want your child to lie on is up to you, as long as it looks good to you! Smart or not, not because of the size of the back, but because of heredity and acquired education!

The baby's head shape is a concern of many treasure mothers, because the head shape directly affects the appearance, and the newborn baby's skull is soft. Appropriate measures can be taken to slightly adjust the head shape. For example, some babies are born with asymmetrical head shapes, and mothers can seize the opportunity to adjust their baby's head shapes through reasonable measures. Generally speaking, the first two months after the baby is born is the best time. As long as the measures are proper, the effect of adjusting the head shape is better. Of course, some treasure mothers deliberately let their babies sleep on their backs to look good or listen to the words of the elderly, and try to adjust their baby's head shape to a flat head. This is a very wrong approach.

In addition to the obvious asymmetry of the baby's head shape, in principle, Ma Bao does not need to sleep with the baby's head shape, especially don't deliberately sleep with a flat head, because doing so is very unfavorable to the baby's health and growth.

Ma Bao usually lets the baby sleep on his back, which has the following hazards to the baby:

First, the baby spit milk easily three months ago. If you sleep on your stomach all the time, it will easily lead to problems such as choking milk and aspiration, and even endanger your baby's life.

Second, the baby's supine sleeping position will lead to unbalanced muscle development on both sides of the head, and also lead to skull deformation, which will affect the development of brain capacity and destroy the normal brain regulation structure, thus affecting the baby's intellectual development level.

Third, the baby has been sleeping on his back, which will lead to the uneven development of the baby's optic nerve, which in turn will affect the baby's vision and the development of various abilities.

Therefore, Ma Bao can't deliberately leave her baby with a flat head, otherwise it will affect her growth and development level.

Before the age of one, the baby's head shape is uncertain. If the baby's head is asymmetrical and leans to one side, Ma Bao can adjust the baby's sleeping posture after the baby falls asleep, instead of always leaning to one side. Of course, it is not good for the baby to change the sleeping position in time and keep it sleeping all the time.

If there is no problem with the baby's head shape, Ma Bao must pay attention to the baby's sleeping posture and drinking posture before the age of one, so as to avoid improper posture affecting the baby's head shape. It is best for the baby to sleep on his back, on his left side and on his right side alternately. Keeping a sleeping position for a long time will not lead to the change of the baby's head shape; When Ma Bao breast-feeds, it is best to take turns to breast-feed the baby from left to right, so as to avoid the head shape change caused by the baby's breast-feeding, thus affecting the baby's growth and development.

If the baby's head is well-proportioned, Ma Bao doesn't need to sleep the baby's head flat, let alone deliberately sleep the baby flat, otherwise it will seriously affect the baby's growth and health. In addition, before the age of one, Ma Bao must change his feeding posture and sleeping posture to prevent the baby's head from having problems.

A good baby's head shape will add points to the image. So many parents want their babies to be round-headed.

When the child was born, my parents-in-law repeatedly stressed to me that we should not let the baby sleep all the time and change the direction for the baby every day. The reason why my parents-in-law pay so much attention to sleeping baby's hairstyle is mainly because their son, my husband, didn't pay attention when he was a child, and his head tilted, so that he would cut his hair when he was an adult. If the barber is not skilled, he will often cut it.

So when I arrived at my grandson, my parents-in-law paid special attention and reminded me early. After my son was born, I let him sleep on his right side for one day, on his left side for one day and on his back for one day. As a result, the child's head slept well, round and straight.

Tell me about my little niece. When she was born, she was sent to the neonatal department for more than ten days because of severe jaundice. As a result, when she came back, the child's head was tilted. Although it was corrected at home for a while, the head shape was still not good.

Combined with my own experience, I think parents should pay attention to the baby's head shape after birth.

Of course, it is most useful to give a baby a haircut within one month after birth.

Because the baby is just born, the skull is soft, the skull is not completely closed, and it is very plastic. If parents pay a little attention to the reasonable shaping of the baby's face at this time, they can get an oval, concave-convex head prototype outline.

1, can't keep a sleeping position for a long time.

Babies usually sleep in supine, prone and lateral positions. The baby won't turn over when he is born. The baby sleeps like his parents put him in.

As we all know, newborn babies sleep for about 18-20 hours every day. Keeping a sleeping position for a long time is easy to crush the baby's head, so parents should help the baby change his sleeping position every three or four hours.

2. It is best not to use a pillow for a three-month-old baby.

In order to help the baby sleep well, many parents will give the baby pillows and fix the baby's head. Actually, this is not right. The newborn baby's spine and cervical vertebrae are not fully developed, and there are pillows. If the height is not appropriate, it is easy to hurt the baby.

Three-month-old babies don't need pillows, so they can sleep in bed naturally.

3. Take turns lying on the left and right sides when sleeping.

The best posture for the baby to sleep is to lie on the left and right sides, because lying on the side will neither oppress the baby's internal organs nor affect the growth of the baby's skull. In addition, sleeping on the side can also limit the overgrowth of the baby's mandible and avoid the baby's face being too big. Before the baby's skull is fully developed, there are still gaps between the bones. If you want to sleep well, lying on your left and right sides and alternating is the best way.
