When did/will you give your baby a pillow?

[hearts81]

Hiya

I have always read that its bad to give your baby a pillow before 1 year old so I've always followed that rule and tonight I put a pillow in Reece's cot. Its amazing, he's never moved off it!!! Usually he's all over the place and ends up waking himself up by getting stuck in weird positions. He looks loads comfier, wish I'd used one far sooner.

Also where did you buy your pillows from? I've never noticed any in the shops (haven't really looked well) so I've made a one out of Reeces old cot bumpers

Dior had a pillow frm 9moths for no reason other then i thought it would be more comfy as she used to love nodding of in my bed on my pillow.

Harley has had one from a few weeks old her has a normal pillow and sleeps with his head and sholders up on it. i gave him one as he was getting flat head

in some countrys they recomend pillows from birth to prevent flat head

Wish I'd known that. Reece's head is still really really flat

I was told not to give one until the child asks for one.

Lydia doesn't use a pillow yet.

You cant tell as much with alll of his hair but when its wet you can totally tell. I dont wanna have him getting picked on in swimming classes when e's older

Didn't realise Harley's head was a bit flat Dionne. Is that just with him lying on it then? Really wish I'd known about pillows a year ago

its the same with me the flat head dont bother me just the fact that people might take the mic. yh i posted some pics on here before of his head then i done a poll and after 4 people put yes its flat head i got sore about it and asked for the thread to be deleted

it just went flat from being in his car seat and laying on his matress

I never seen the pics. Its a bit of a sore subject with me too. My friends neigbour has just had a baby and when I went to see it she said to me "oh I was so glad when I first saw Natasha and she had a normal shaped head, I was scared incase it would be like Reece's" My friend was gobsmacked and quickly led me out the house before I lamped her lol.

 

[Dee1985]

OMG.... i keep my mouth shut on alot of things but i would have smashed her face in for that

 

[hearts81]

I never even got a chance to say anything to her. Wish I had now, you know when loads of insults come into your head after ther incident lol. I have some great ones ready for next time

 

[Xena]

lemme at her!! I'll smack her senseless for you if you like hun! That is SO out of order!!
