Pillows!

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone has introduced a pillow yet or what the recommendations for these are? I know NHS says not until 1 but I’ve seen some medical journals say not to introduce them until after 2?

I am thinking about it to be honest, but I'm wary for the same reasons. I know my friend already has done at a similar age. My little girl has started napping occasionally in our bed with her head on the pillows. I thought maybe if I introduced one I would put it under the fitted sheet to start with. However, my little girl also wriggles a lot in the night, and she often ends up pretty much upside down in the cot at points, so I feel a bit like it might be wasted on her too 🥴😆

@Alice the information is a bit sparse on when is a good time! I have one of the baby ones so it’s really thin and have thought about putting it under the sheet too! My son is also a wriggler and he sleeps on his front so I’m not sure if it is safe! How is your friend getting on with using one?

I have and I got a thin one online that is breathable. It took a little while to get used to but now he actually uses it

I have them ready but I’m not using them until he’s around 18 to 24months old x

I’m not bothering until she’s closer to 2 x

I introduced at 10 months as he was cosleeping with us on our pillows anyways, he likes it, he does still wriggle around his cot but naturally finds his way back to his pillow if he wakes up xxx

I've done it. I introduced it about two weeks ago, I keep it under the bed sheet and he's taken to it really well. No issues or concerns here x

I have introduced a pillow through nap time during the day so I’m awake and can check on him whilst he gets use to this, just kind of slowly introducing it whilst I’m awake for a piece of mine xx
