When did you...
let your lo sleep with a pillow? My dd is 13 months old and my SO has been putting her down for naps with a pillow. He's off on Tuesdays and Fridays so while I work he's been doing this (I was unaware). Well today we were both home and she was getting tired so he took her to her room for a nap. When I went to check on her I saw she was sleeping on a pillow he gave her. She does fine with it obviously but it just seems so early. Anyone else start using a pillow this early?

My Dd is 15 months and she occasionally sleep on a pillow. Most of the time she doesn't as she moves way too much.

DS started using one when he started to crawl, I think. We'd put it under his bed sheets though so he couldn't pull it up on his face or anything. He's two now and uses it above sheets for a few months now.

Like 7 or 8 months I think. Once he started crawling

With all 3 of my kids since they were born we co slept so they had their own pillow. Now they can't sleep without one and blankets. They're 5 3 & 17 months

My toddler is almost 2.5 and still no pillow, it messes with their alignment. I work for a chiropractor even adults sleep wrong on pillows lol we are waiting to introduce the pillow

She started using it around 9 months but she was in bed with us

My 2.5 year old still doesn't have a pillow. Not because I don't want her to have one. I just don't think she needs it, so I never thought to give her one.

Before 12 months. He wouldn't sleep well without one.
He's now 17 months old and has two pillows as he has a double bed.

Only during naps because he sleeps in the living room (he won't nap in his crib). Been this way since he was close to 1. But he's always been supervised

My son has pretty much always broken the rules since about 5 months. He would not fall asleep being held and wanted a bottle to fall asleep to. So we'd put his boppy on the ground and set him up with a bottle. So he'd basically fall asleep on a pillow then we'd move him to his crib. He also wanted his blanket after we stopped swaddling. He kept pulling it up on his face so we got him a loosely quilted blanket so it never actually covered his nose or mouth.
He's 15 months now and sleeps with a pillow and blanket. Been a regular thing for about 2 months now.
Edit: been a regular thing meaning we stopped removing the items and let him sleep throughout the night with them. So if you're not comfortable falling asleep and not being able to supervise your LO using it then just remove it once they're actually asleep if you think it won't wake them!

I just started giving him a pillow now that we're transitioning to a toddler bed. He's 2.5.
