Some doctors and sleep experts feel that a baby pillow is not really essential for babies. While some children seem to do fine without them, many will need a baby pillow in order to sleep more comfortably through the night. In any case, you may want to hold off on using a baby pillow until the time when your child moves from the crib into a real bed. There can be a risk of the child suffocating with the use of a baby pillow, particularly when he or she is less than two years of age. If your child simply cannot get to sleep without one, make sure that the baby pillow you use is firm and fairly small. There is a danger of your baby suffocating with a baby pillow that is too soft and contains feathers, and you run the risk of triggering an allergic episode as well.
A baby pillow that is made out of memory foam could be well worth looking into as well. Memory foam ensures that the pressure is distributed evenly around the babys delicate head. Memory Foam, which is actually made of Visco Elastic cushioning material can also help prevent the flattening of the back of the babys head, as well as ensuring a more comfortable sleep.
It should be clear by now that there are many factors that affect your decision to go with a baby pillow. If you have any doubts about how the use of a baby pillow will affect your childs sleep as well as general health, you may want to talk about your concerns with your pediatrician. He or she will be better able to asses your babys needs and will be able to make a recommendation based on your babys particular circumstances.
