I have been a hearing and reading a lot on the net on how dangerous baby pillows are and some horrendous tales of babies smothering to death because of using baby pillows. I think most of such stories are overstated. My personal experience in using baby pillows for my daughter from the age of one and half is a good example that it is not such a devilish product as it is made out to be. Yes there are some precautions which you have to take. Do not buy cheap merchandise, the so called best bargains, they are likely to be of poor quality and hence unsafe.I scoured WalMart, Woolworth and specialized baby product stores before deciding on which type of baby pillow to buy. A little bit of research on the Internet also helps. A nice narrow, firm baby pillow is just as good as the latest memory foam pillows. I, of course chose to buy a memory foam pillow which is a trifle expensive. The memory foam pillow does really mold to the shape of the babys head. I say this out of experience of seeing my baby sleep soundly without once bringing out the late night feed ever since she started sleeping on a memory foam pillow.
There are other advantages to using a baby pillow. According to some doctors, having a pillow, raises the babys head slightly above the rest of the body and makes breathing easier especially when the baby is suffering from a cold. They also opine that pillow support prevents cranial deformities which can occur if the baby sleeps with head to one side for a long duration. One thing to check is the pillow cover. Choose cotton rich linen as the pillow cover material. Such a material helps prevent allergic reactions or rashes, a common occurrence if using synthetic pillow covers. Soft pillows or feather filled pillows are a definite miss, the real culprit for all that negative publicity. So go ahead and use baby pillows and see your angel sleep soundly.
