When choosing a pillow for a baby under one year old,
Parents need to consider several factors to ensure the safety and comfort .
Here are the top 5 points to consider:
1. Height
The height should match the development of the baby’s cervical spine. Generally speaking, the most suitable height is when the baby’s head and body can be kept at the same level when lying on the back and flat after using the pillow. Pillows that are too high or too low may affect your baby’s sleep quality and health. Mefiss provides pillow solutions for over 50 baby brands, and has cumulatively produced more than 2 million pillows in ten years. We produce pillows with different pillow heights based on different characteristics of newborns, toddlers and teenagers.
2. Hardness
Pillows should be moderately soft, neither too hard nor too soft. A pillow that is too hard may cause deformation of the baby’s head, while a pillow that is too soft may increase the risk of suffocation. Parents can press and test the resilience of the pillow when selecting . At present, Mefiss commonly used materials are SSS fiber antibacterial anti-mite snowball, Q-soft hollow hose, and silicone, which ensure airflow while providing long-lasting rebound support for baby.
3. Size
The size of the pillow should be suitable for the baby, the pillow length should be slightly longer than the shoulder width (Mefiss’ pillow width is often 45-55cm, to ensure baby has space to turnover ), the pillow width should be wider than the head, which can ensure that the baby’s head has enough space for activities, but also to prevent the suffocation risk .
4. Material
Should choose breathable and moisture-absorbent material. Avoid the use of materials that may cause allergies, such as down and plant seeds. Take the silicone particles from Mefiss as an example, the material is inorganic, it is tested antibacterial and anti-mite. And it is full of breathable holes like loofah. Pillowcase should preferably be made of soft cotton or lyocell , which can quickly absorb and transport the baby’s sweat.
5. Hygiene
Because babies will spill milk, saliva and sweat a lot, pillow is easy to become a breeding ground for bacteria, baby pillow needs to be washed often, like once a week . All of the baby pillows made by Mefiss can be anti-bacterial and mite resistant, and meanwhile machine washable.
Through the above five points, parents can choose for the baby to a safe and comfortable pillow, to help the baby get a better quality of sleep.
