At what age did you start letting your baby/infant sleep with a pillow?

HAPPY MOMMY asked:


Mine is almost 10 months and loves to use a pillow for her naps but i know that she’s not supposed to have anything like that in her crib. What age do you think is ok for having a pillow.

    15 months. Any younger I kept a close eye on them.

    between 1 and 2. i think you kid is a little young for one right now. but im sure if its just for naps it wont hurt but i wouldnt let them have one for all night long.

    I gave mine a pillow when I put her in a bed – a little after 2.

    My son did not use a pillow until he was 2 and in a toddler bed. I would not let him use one in the crib. I think you should at least wait until your little girl is 18 months. Just to be safe.
