Pillows in the cot?

[*Star*]

Oliver is 15 months old now. He LOVES taking the pillows off the furniture and lying down on the floor and pretending to sleep on them.

So, I'm wondering if it's ok to put a pillow in with him. I'm thinking that it's gonna help him stay the right way round in the cot and maybe even stay under the covers!!!

I know I gave Benjamin a pillow when I moved him out of the cot when he was about 15 months old, but mainly because the cot was a lot smaller and he was banging on the side of the cot during the night and waking himself up!!!

Hannah had a pillow from 9 months

My LO is 17months and has had a pillow for a month or too, i started off putting it under her sheet, so she couldnt move it to get use to it, now though she has it in normally.

Don't they say from 1 year old is ok for a pillow? I thought that was the general recommendation.

well, i think i'll start putting a pillow in for him during naps in the day. See how he goes with it.
He'll probably love it and then not want to sleep without one!
