When should you introduce your kids to a pillow?

When is a good age to start introducing a pillow or letting your toddler sleep with one? My baby will be 2 in 5 months she will take her Minnie “decorative” pillow and put it besides her bed and lay down using it because I won’t let her use it in bed

My girls were using a pillow by a year and a half. 2 yrs old would be fine for her to use a pillow.

My friend little one was 4 used one and passed away from suffocating …Every child is different

I gave my son one when he was about 1.5 but he never used it so I’ve taken it away until he wants one.

My son started using one as soon as he was in the toddler bed, so 18 months.

I think around 2. Maybe 18 months.

My 21 month old has a pillow now. Just introduced and he is fine

A two year old is okay to use a pillow, so long as they’re healthy and strong.

I use one from 1 year but it’s flat and a well fitting pillow case. My babies are usually in a big bed around 1 too.

If it’s not broken there’s no need to fix it, let the child decide in the future.
