Orthopedic pillow will be greatan assistant for you and an indispensable support for your baby. What is its role? To begin with, the baby's cervical curvature of the spine is formed at the age of 0 to 12 months, until the moment when the baby begins to confidently hold his head on his own. In order for the cervical bend to form correctly, it needs help - children often hold their heads for a long time either on one side or on the other. Parents have to constantly monitor and correct the baby's head. Orthopedic pillows for newborns (photo) ideally help to solve this problem. They ensure the normal growth and development of the cervical spine, taking into account the physiological characteristics of the baby, support the baby's neck and head, reduce the load on the cervical spine and normalize blood circulation in this area.
