[Annh17]

When did you all give your little ones a pillow in bed?

12 months x

Could you give us the brand/size or any other specifications? Thanks a lot; I’m so confused with what to buy for my LO. She’s 17 months old and has never used a pillow 😀xx

[Hidden in reply to Sherry07]

I just got a silent night one from Asda that’s for a cot bed x

[Annh17 in reply to Sherry07]

My LG is the same, never had a pillow, but loves to rest head on her teddies x

[Sherry07 in reply to Annh17]

Same here xx

[Annh17 in reply to Hidden]

Oh wow, how did she get in with it? When did you introduce blanket/quilt?

I’m thinking this autumn/winter of introducing pillow to LG x

[Hidden in reply to Annh17]

It actually helped her sleep better that’s why we try it. She has two pillows now as well. we also did duvet when she turned one and constantly wiggled it off but eventually stopped her from travelling all over the bed x

[Sherry07 in reply to Hidden]

Very helpful as usual thank you xx

[Annh17 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. I’m so scared of giving her a quilt more than a pillow. Just because she’s such a wriggly bum in bed, she’s all over the place. x

[Hidden in reply to Annh17]

Same but it really helped stop her for wiggling plus the duvets are quite thin really xx

I read somewhere the other day that the current recommendation is 18 months

[PixieB26 in reply to Hidden]

That’s definitely the more common age, working as a nanny most of my little ones never have a pillow or sheet until at least 18 months.

The NHS website and Lullaby Trust both say no duvets or pillows under the age of 1.

14 months, toddler pillow. No duvet, I still use sleeping bags even though my LG is in a toddler bed as I just find them easier to dress for the temp of the room.

Around 4 - 5 months - because he had been in hospital and had to sit up for his breathing - I continued this and he has two now (turns 1 this weekend. I just used normal pillows what I use for myself - not feather - and the dust free allergy ones.

My 19.5 month old is still happy with just sleeping bag and mattress.

[Annh17 in reply to Lizzielizzielizzie]

It’s just difficult, I’m thinking of waiting till winter, but will just see. x

[Lizzielizzielizzie in reply to Annh17]

What makes you think they need one?

My daughter is just over 16 months she has had hers for a new months now best thing ever! She sleeps so much better I knew it was time to give her one when all she wanted to do was lay on mine!

From birth, if I left my baby alone in the room, I always put a towel under his head, folded several times. I think that even the thinnest pillows are a little too big for a baby. Just lying on the mattress is not comfortable and firm. I want that it was soft for the baby. The eldest daughter is fond of anime. She is already an adult and chooses her own bed lining and the thickness of the pillows. We gifted her a body pillow for Christmas. We ordered a cool pillowcase for it on waifuforlaifu.com/pages/wai... for an affordable price. She was happy like a child.
