Buckwheat pillow is a pillow filled with buckwheat husks. Many people use buckwheat pillows because the long-term contact between buckwheat and the head can promote blood circulation. At the same time, the sliding of buckwheat husks can create a contour that matches the head of the pillow. But many mothers are very aware of the dangers of using buckwheat pillows for newborns.
1. Freshmen don't need pillows
Although buckwheat pillows themselves have good benefits for the human body, for newborns, the physiological natural bending shape of the body has not yet formed. If the pillow is used too early, it is not conducive to the growth and development of the spine, and may even have adverse effects on the development of the cervical spine and the back of the head. Newborns usually use a thin pillow, but do not need buckwheat shells to fill it.
2. Buckwheat shells are prone to bugs
Buckwheat husks themselves can help the skull form a matching contour, but for babies who need long periods of sleep and have close contact with pillows, buckwheat husks can be affected by the surrounding humid environment in summer, leading to the appearance of insects, which can affect the baby's skin health and even cause some adverse diseases, affecting the baby's growth and development.
Relatively speaking, buckwheat pillows are more suitable for adults or the elderly to use. Newborns do not need pillows for a considerable period of time after birth, otherwise it will have adverse effects on normal spinal growth and development. So newborns do not use buckwheat pillows.
