It may look harmless, but pillows are not recommended for newborns and young infants.๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ณ

Because babies have very soft necks and narrow airways, a pillow can tilt the head forward or push it backward. This can change the position of the airway and make breathing less comfortable during sleep.

Soft pillows can also move around the babyโ€™s face, especially if the baby turns to the side.

For safer sleep:
โ€ข A firm, flat mattress
โ€ข No pillows or soft bedding
โ€ข Baby placed on their back to sleep

Do what you think is good for your child as a mom. Social media always says โ€œdonโ€™t do this, donโ€™t do thatโ€ too much noise already. A caring mother knows her baby best. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Infant pillows arenโ€™t that thick and are breathable if you buy right one

This is such an important reminder. ๐Ÿค So many things look harmless until you understand the risk. Safe sleep really is about the simplest setup.
