I'm sure this is gross but I still sleep with the pillow I had as a toddler. It's feather. Every few years I have it cleaned and re stuffed in a new case. It's like 1/3 stuffed. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2200122 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:55:04 +0000 Mamaof2 2200122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 4 - DD was 3</p> <p>I gave them pillows when they asked for one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2200110 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:39:33 +0000 getjazzy 2200110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 18 months I introduced a thin mock pillow to try and encourage him to learn to sleep in one direction which is hit and miss. It's the same "foot print" as a pillow but only maybe an inch thick if that. </p> <p>We moved this same pillow to the big boy bed when he moved over last week at 23 months old and he still seems to spin around in his sleep haha so I won't introduce a full pillow for a while I don't think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2200104 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:36:48 +0000 autumnlove 2200104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over age 3.

Whenever we converted his crib to a toddler bed...I'm pretty sure it was right before he turned 2. It's a toddler pillow that I think I got from IKEA, and he loves it so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199896 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:15:36 +0000 petunia354 2199896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometime around 18 months! He didn't quite get it at first but now he pretty much stays on it all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199889 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:12:26 +0000 clover 2199889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave him a toddler one right around 22-23 months, it seemed to helped him stay at one end of the crib instead of around and around the whole thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199846 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 06:03:08 +0000 Pumuckl 2199846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He got a bedding set for his 2nd birthday which he then got to use. He often sleeps without the pillow and nearly always without the blanket though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199764 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 23:00:17 +0000 lamariniere 2199764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until just a few weeks ago at almost 4.5! I was having a hard time finding a suitable kid pillow, so I finally just gave up and gave him a pillow we already have. He only uses it about half of the time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199743 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 22:08:35 +0000 dolphin 2199743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toddler pillow at 18 months. Regular pillow at 29 months, when we switched her to a twin bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199548 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 19:27:51 +0000 gilmoregirl 2199548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guy is young for a pillow, but he kept grabbing this stuffed broccoli from ikea off of a shelf and curling up with it in his crib. He'd wake up from a nap, grab his broccoli, and go back to sleep. Soooo at 12.5 months or so, I just stuck the broccoli in his crib and now he uses the top part for his head and snuggles with the rest. I don't know if it's the same as giving him a pillow, but it functions that way and he seems to like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199446 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:19:58 +0000 winniebee 2199446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 months. Had a vacation where he slept in a really uncomfortable pack n okay so gave one to him then and it stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199442 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:15:58 +0000 AprilFool 2199442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably at 23 months but she doesn't use it. It's just a little toddler one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199431 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:10:23 +0000 birdofafeather 2199431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when she started preschool: 26 months. now she loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199394 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 17:41:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 2199394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer when my mom was watching her FT - so like 16-18 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199391 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 17:38:10 +0000 PurplePeony 2199391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has a couple stuffed animals in her crib that she sometimes uses as pillows during naps, but she rarely sleeps on one at night. Once I see her using one more often, I'll get her a real pillow, but probably not until then. She's 18 mo right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199381 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 17:16:45 +0000 Madison43 2199381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just gave her a pillow at 19 months because she has been battling a monster cold and I wanted to keep her head elevated. She loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199324 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 16:13:54 +0000 .twist. 2199324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around the same, 17ish months I think? I decided to just give it a try one night and he's loved it ever since! It's kind of a half a pillow, so perfect for a little head. When he gets a big boy bed we will give him a regular sized pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-sleeping-with-a-pillow#post-2199323 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 16:11:46 +0000 Bao 2199323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we gave LO1 a pillow at 17 months because she had a hip brace and needed it. I'm curious when others started letting their LO's sleep with a pillow. Did you use a full size one or toddler one? </p>
