This pillow usually adopts a design that meets the physiological characteristics of infants, which can effectively support the head and neck of infants and ensure their natural breathing state when lying on their backs. The contact fabric material is usually soft, breathable and easy to clean, ensuring that infants feel comfortable during use and preventing allergies or skin irritation. When using the airway opening pillow, parents need to place it in the appropriate position of the infant bed to ensure that the head and neck of the infant are fully supported, while avoiding the pillow being too high or too low to affect the breathing of the infant.

[0003] The Chinese patent with publication number CN215425691U discloses an airway opening pillow for premature infants, which includes an opening pillow body, and circular clamping grooves are formed on both sides of the center of the rear end of the opening pillow body, and a fixed column is clamped in the inner cavity of the circular clamping groove. The latex movable block supports the neck of the newborn, which facilitates the slight lifting of the head of the newborn, fully opens the airway of the newborn, avoids airway obstruction due to compression, and prevents diseases such as respiratory distress and respiratory failure, ensuring smooth breathing of the newborn. In subsequent treatment, the opening of the airway and the smoothness of the respiratory tract are particularly important, and the sleeping posture of the newborn is corrected to prevent the newborn from forming a flat head tendency due to the inability to turn the head, and the sleeping posture of the newborn is thus guaranteed, avoiding the twisting of the body of the newborn and ensuring the cleanliness of the bed unit.
