The phrase “sleep like a baby” sometimes does not fit reality, and if you don’t
ask many parents. Nursing colic, night terrors… Sometimes
the solution is to let go, because everything passes, even if it runs over us first. However
, on other occasions, the solution is simple: check that our
children’s rest equipment is adequate.
And when we talk about sleep equipment, we don’t mean exclusively the mattress.
To achieve adequate rest, it is not only necessary to choose a good children’s mattress,
but also to choose a children’s pillow recommended for their age.
The size of the children’s pillow is the first point to consider before buying it.
In the case of crib pillows, it is important that they fit as closely as possible to the
size of the crib, so they do not have to be too large. Keep in
mind that babies should not use pillows until they are 2 years old.
A children’s pillow is always preferable to be low. On the other hand, on pillows
children’s playgrounds designed for children, a height of around 10 centimeters would be the most
convenient.
According to sleep experts, the most recommended firmness in a pillow aimed at
children and babies is preferable to be intermediate-soft. Remember that the ideal pillow,
both for children and adults, is one that allows the head, neck
and back to be aligned in the same position as they would be when standing.
That the pillow is breathable is another essential quality. In this
way, night sweats are prevented from disturbing the child’s rest.
Another critical aspect is that it is a hypoallergenic pillow as a toddler’s skin
is more sensitive and itching and allergic reactions can
keep them awake at night.
At MiColchón we are very clear that the pillows that best fit the
needs of children are fibre pillows. Mainly because of its low firmness,
and, secondly, because of its adaptability to any posture that the child accepts, even if
he sleeps on his stomach
