For children who cannot roll over yet, if their heads are resting on a pillow filled with millet or mung beans, it will inevitably affect the development of their brains.

2. In other words, the younger the child, the faster the brain develops. So don’t be put off by a pillow filled with whole grains.

5. An asymmetrical face is also the consequence of sleeping on a millet pillow.

6. Whether from the perspective of the child's skull or brain development, or from the perspective of the beautiful appearance of the child's head, do not let your child sleep with millet or mung bean pillows.
