Pillows for your babies, Safe or Not?

Zechariah Ethan on his first week
When I gave birth to my son, most people around me suggest to remove those pillows, teddy bears or animal stuff toys, and bumpers because it may cause suffocation for my little boy. My friends also told me that there are chance for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SID) for younger babies if I have pillows beside my babies crib.

As a new parent, I follow some suggestions like removing those animal stuff toys in his crib. Why? Am I afraid of the SID? Maybe but I'm  much of concern about the dust that the toys will give to my baby. It can cause skin allergies to my baby or worst it can give him some bacteria.

Having pillow helps him to sleep well. He likes it when two long pillows are beside him. I also notice that it helps him to breathe when his head is elevated by the pillow. I think having a pillow or not at a younger age will depend on the ability of the child and of course with the help of their parents. All babies are different and most will let you know if they are ready to have pillow.

Pro's

  1. It will help a child if he had his head elevated for a nasal problems like a cold. A pillow will help him sleep better
  2. A special pillow, his favorite, will help provide your child a emotional comfort.


Con's

  1. Pillows can be dangerous for babies. They can cause suffocation, either by the baby turning face down and burying his face in the pillow or by getting his head under the pillow.
  2. It can cause to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SID)

Kabuhayan noong panahon ng Kastila

Pinakilala ng mga kastila ang sistemang pamilihan. Ang sistemang pamilihan ay ang pagtatakda ng presyo sa isang bagay o pagkain. Ang sistema ay nagmula sa simpleng sistema ng pagpapalitan ng kalakalan hangang sa napalitan ito ng bagong sistemang ipinakilala ng mga Kastila sa ating mga ninuno noong 1521. At ito ay tinawag na sistemang barter. Dahil sa hindi husto ang kaalaman at hindi nakapag-aral ang mga Filipino noong panahon ng Kastila, nakaranas ng pag-aaubuso at diskriminasyon. Binigyang pabor ng mga Kastila ang mga tao na nagbibigay sa kanila ng benepisyo tulad na lamang ng mga Tsino sapagka't mas malaki ang buwis na kanilang binayaran. Nagkaroon din ng klasipikasyon sa estado ng tao noong panahon ng Kastila. Ang mga Pilipino ay tinawag na indio samantalang mestizo ang mga Pilipinong ang ama ay Tsino at ang ina ay Pilipino. Kung may kabutihan na naidulot ang mga Kastila sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas, mayroon ding mga suliraning dulot ang sistemang ipinakilala ng mga Kastila.
