Baby pillows come in a variety of sizes and facilitate Moms with a number of baby issues. Still, the primary function of these pillows is to assist Mom in feeding and llulabying a baby. These pillows are primarily used to protect the slender back portion of the childs head that is vulnerable to becoming flat due to elongated contact with a hard surface. Shielding a young child from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is an important function performed by the pillows. Young children are exposed to SIDS when they lay by their sides, which often results in them turning head down on the surface. A child can easily be suffocated if they lie face down. These pillows are made to prevent child from turning sides.
Some pillows are made for cribs and are specifically used for a baby that is under one year old. The foam underneath the pillow will mold itself according to the shape of babys head which helps the baby relax. Other types of pillows are used for breast feeding. There are also baby pillows that can be fitted in a child car seat.
