We gave ours a pillow at about 2, when he started lying all over the cushions and dragging them round the house. We got cheap ones from the warehouse which are really flat.
Mainly he cuddles it or sleeps completely on top of it. He doesn't really use it like a pillow for just his head.]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:17:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422393&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422393 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422368&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422368 Author: squoggs

we gave our daughter a pillow when she was about 15months,just to see if it would keep her in one place - she used to wake up a bit sore from sleeping in weird positions. It worked really well, just gave her a normal but flattish pillow. ]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:11:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422368&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422368 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422324&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422324 Author: MissJen

Thanks for the advice everyone. DS doesnt sleep normally in the bed we find him in all different positions so i was questioning whether he would actually use one!!!

I might wait until he asks for one]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:40:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422324&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422324 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422297&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422297 Author: EmDee

Our 19mth old has had a pillow for a few months and, like MrsEmma's DS, he sleeps on top of it most of the time - he absolutely loves it! We gave him a full sized flat pillow.

When he would sleep in our bed, he always wiggled his way on to either mine or DH's pillowa and slept really well, so after a few particularly difficult nights DH put a pillow in his cot and he's slept really well since (mostly ).]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:53:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422297&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422297 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422296&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422296 Author: MrsEmma

Yeah it was gorgeous - I would never have thought to give him one otherwise!]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:50:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422296&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422296 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422288&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422288 Author: blessedmama

Haha - that's cute!

blessedmama the toddler pillows are shorter than a standard size pillow and yes it is quite flat too

The reason we gave him one was because we have cushions in the lounge and he would put them on the floor and lie on them all the time and started carrying them into his room for nap times so thought it safer to buy him his own flat pillow.]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:15:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422283&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422283 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422281&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422281 Author: blessedmama

My two year old doesn't have a pillow. She hasn't asked for one yet so I haven't bothered. I can't remember when I gave my oldest a pillow so I guess I'll just wait and see when she wants one!

MrsEmma I didn't realise there were toddler pillows. Will have to check them out. Are they just flatter versions of an adult one?]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:05:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422281&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422281 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422243&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422243 Author: MrsH

Yeah, mine is 2.5 and he doesn't have a pillow. He barely uses all of his bed (we always find him across top of the bed up against the headboard), why waste a pillow on him as well?

All my kids just used a normal pillow, flattish when they went in to beds, I never used any kind in cots.]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:38:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1422010&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1422010 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1421998&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1421998 Author: MrsEmma

We gave DS a toddler pillow in his cot at around 16-17 months which he loved so when we moved him into a big bed we gave him a normal size pillow (quite a flat one) and again he loves it and literally sleeps on top of it every night

Perhaps start him off with a toddler pillow (I bought ours from Kmart for around $10) or just go with a normal size flat pillow, we got DS's from Briscos

We are about to move DS into a big boy bed and have no idea about pillows.
Should I give him one or not? And if so what sort is best??

Any thoughts??]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:59:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41317&PID=1421996&title=starting-toddler-with-a-pillow#1421996
