Can babies sleep on tea-leaf pillows?

A tea pillow is a kind of pillow that uses the effective ingredients of health plants and its unique pillow shape to directly act on the skin receptors and nerve trunks of the neck, making them active, excited or inhibited, thereby regulating blood vessels and nerves, improving local microcirculation, accelerating blood flow, relaxing muscles, regulating nerves, and thus keeping the internal environment of the body relatively stable, which can eliminate fatigue and refresh the mind.

The tea aromatic substances in the tea pillow can promote sleep, improve sleep quality and maintain youthful vitality. Tea can also clear the mind and eyes, improve blood circulation in the brain, provide the brain with adequate oxygen and nutrients, eliminate brain fatigue and enhance memory. Tea pillows have many benefits, but they are not suitable for all babies.

The spine of a newborn is straight, and the head and body are at the same level when lying flat, so no pillow is needed. If necessary, you can fold a pure cotton towel in half to make a temporary pillow. Generally speaking, babies of three or four months old can sleep on tea pillows, but they must use brewed tea leaves, as they will be softer. Tea pillows made from new tea are harder and not suitable for use. After all, the baby's skull is soft, and sleeping on a pillow that is too hard will affect the development of their head.

Tea pillows are more effective in summer, as they are soft, breathable and sweat-absorbent. However, remember to expose them to the sun frequently, otherwise they will easily breed bacteria, which is actually bad for your health.
