It has previously been shown that a soft mattress lessens the degree of head flattening that occurs in preterm infants in the early weeks of life. A follow up study of 31 infants of < 32 weeks' gestation found head flattening had resolved by 3-4 years of age, regardless of the type of mattress used in the neonatal period, and the children had heads similar in shape to full term controls.
先前的研究表明,软床垫可减轻早产儿出生后最初几周出现的头部扁平程度。一项对31名孕周小于32周的婴儿进行的随访研究发现,无论新生儿期使用何种床垫,到3至4岁时头部扁平问题均已解决,这些儿童的头部形状与足月儿对照组相似。
