Baby bedding is too soft to increase the risk of choking in children

Too soft pillows, blankets and bedding will increase the risk of choking for children.

Some parents also installed cushions along the edge of the bed to prevent baby’s head injury.

But research has found that the actual risk of accidental injury or death caused by a cushion is far greater than the benefits it brings.

　　Many parents believe that the softer a baby’s bedding, the more comfortable and safe the baby will be.

However, a new study published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Pediatrics cautions parents that choosing too soft baby bedding increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

　　The George Washington University National Children’s Medical Center surveyed Dr. Rachel Munn’s 83 newborn families and found that more than half of the new mothers admitted that in order to make their babies more comfortable, warmer, and to prevent their headsIf you hurt your hands and feet, choose soft bedding, pillows and cushions.

Dr. Moon said that too soft pillows, blankets and bedding would increase the risk of choking for children.

　　Dr. Fein Hawke, a SIDS research expert at the University of Virginia, suggested that baby beds should not be over-soft mattresses and pillows.

Babies are extremely adaptable, and harder mattresses are beneficial.

Pillows should be soft and hard, and the core should be soft, light, and breathable.

You can choose wicker, pudding, buckwheat husk, etc. as the material to fill, or you can collect the tea leaves and dry them as pillow material.

The quilt should not be too big and too thick, it is best to use a lightweight baby duvet, and the size should not exceed 2/3 of the bed surface.

The feet of the quilt should be tied or clamped with a bed clip to prevent suffocation caused by covering the baby’s head.
