   Hi everyone! 
 
  I was just wondering at what age did you give your kids a pillow in their cots/bed?

   Elle got one when she moved into her bed a few weeks ago but she doesn't stay with her head on it.

   At about 12-15 mos which was just before they moved into a big bed. By that stage they were crawling out of bed and lying on top of the duvet (facing the opposite way) to sleep - so I figured a pillow wouldn't hurt them!!

   Daniel has one when he is sick (to keep his head higher to help him breathe) but it's not a standard thing he has all the time. I got the thinest pillow I could find but it still looks a little big

   Michaela would have been about 15 months when she got a normal pillow, she had a teeny little baby pillow from about 10 mo.

   I still can't get Ella to stay in the same spot in the cot for any length of time, so I think it will be a while before she has a pillow....

   Josh has had one under his matteress since he was a few weeks old and it has stayed there ever since. 
Andrew got one when he went to his big bed at about 17-18 months.

   I just gave Benjy one a couple of weeks ago. I put it on his mattress but under the fitted bottom sheet, so that it can't move around.

   Z had a thin pillow from about 10 months and then a thinish Normal pillow after 14 months or so...she loves our huge as fat pillows to sleep on now! LOL
 
 I might get her one (not as fat as ours but..) after she is 3.
