What pillow is good for babies to sleep in summer

Many parents will find that they have no problems and are in good health, but their babies always get sick after they are born. Healthy parents should give birth to healthy children. For children with weaker constitutions, they should be carefully cared for. Babies often sweat easily when sleeping in the summer because the weather is very hot. Therefore, when choosing pillows for children in the summer, it is best to choose some cooler ones that can prevent sweating and prickly heat.

As the weather gets warmer, many parents are preparing to replace their babies' pillows with cooler ones, but the wide variety of pillows on the market makes it difficult to choose. For infants and children in their growth spurts, choosing a suitable pillow is crucial.

What kind of pillow is good for babies in summer?

Most of the pillows used by the older generation for their children are hand-made, such as mung bean shell pillows, rice pillows, buckwheat pillows, etc., which are especially suitable for use in summer.

This type of maternal and infant pillow has moderate hardness and softness, is warm in winter and cool in summer, has good air permeability, and is beneficial to blood circulation in the head. Due to the characteristics of buckwheat husks, they have a certain fluidity and can change shape as the child's sleeping posture changes, thereby providing uniform support for the child's head and neck bones. Buckwheat husk pillows are also breathable and suitable for use in all seasons. Since children have a high metabolism and sweat a lot on their heads, their pillows are easily soaked when they sleep. Therefore, it is best to prepare two pillows for children so that they can be used alternately, and they should be exposed to the sun every two days.
