Baby pillows

[cossie13]

Ok so I know babies under 1 aren't supposed to have pillows. But, Alex seems to sleep a million times better when he's on my maternity 'v' pillow. I've looked into it and there are vented baby pillows. Has anyone ever bought and used a pillow for their baby before and if so, how did you get on? He's 10 weeks old now

Thanks guys! Xx

Zac has had a pillow probably since he was 5 months old - I think it was when he had a bad cold, it really helped and he's had it ever since.
My mum suggested putting it underneath the cotbed sheet so it couldn't move/he couldn't drag it around so we've done that ever since. He sleeps so much better too! x

We've used a pillow since my boy was around 3 months old. To begin with a 'flat head pillow' was v expensive at around £50. This was breathable too, it pretty much stopped him rolling anyway. Only used this till things improved and when he started to move more at night.

Then bought a normal 'baby' pillow. Got mine from IKEA. Their pretty flat, but comfy.
He's never really stayed on it though up until the last week or so, hes just over 12 months old. Do what you think it right =) x
