Same here - just over 2 when she went into her big bed. I started with one of the really flat little baby pillows and only graduated her to a normal pillow a month or so before Christmas. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Issy has baby pillows (I think they are designed for travel), in her bed .. she doesnt like big pillows as yet, she tends to use them like a mattres instead of what they were intended for, she loves her toddler sized pillow though. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

Nat's had one of those really flat ones for a few months. She was pulling down the bumper and using that as a pillow, so I figured we'd give her the real thing! She just seems to like having something softer under her head, be it pillow, blanket, toy etc. I have noticed that she moves around the cot less with the pillow and tends to stay up the 'right' way in the cot, but that could also be an age thing.
She doesn't have one if we use the portacot though, so it's not something she really needs.  -------------

We've started Em with a bassinet size pillow since moving her to the bed about a month ago. She was always using her teddys as a pillow. Will probably wait a bit longer before moving on to a big pillow though as she's only a petite wee thing and a big pillow might take up more space than she does!! -------------

We introduced one when Chloe was about a year old, a really flat baby one... mainly because she kept ending up in weird places all over her cot, and it helped her to know where her head was meant to go! Lol. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Same here LB! Jack moves around a lot less with one.
We just gave him a flattish old one of ours which he loved because it smelled of me (I slept on it for a while and he had it when he was in hospital). Must have been just over a year old when he got it? |

Jacob has one of the half sized ones because he LOVES pillows. If he ever finds a pillow he puts it on the floor and lays his head down on it so we thought it couldn't hurt and he loves it. In saying that he doesn't need it to settle and half the time when i check on them before i go to bed the pillows at the opposite end of the cot. ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

hmm maybe I will try Arianne with a pillow, she loves lying on my one when we relax in bed.
Then I hope she will know where to put her head and hopefully stay there. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Trist got one when he went into a big boys bed, Rylans got one now in his cot as he was severe reflux so we had it under the sheet to lift his head up a bit as the usual phonebook trick didnt work with him. Now hes practically grown out of the reflux he sometimes uses it other times its at the other end of the cot ------------- Tristen - 24/06/07 Rylan - 11/12/08 Angel Babies -14/08/05 & 21/01/2010 Curtis - 26/02/12 |

L & Z have had pillows pretty much since they went into a cot in SCBU, but then they were refluxy and the nurses recommended it to help them with the spilling, and have continued on with the pillows ever since.
Normally we find them in the middle of the room without the pillowslips as they throw them at each other. -------------
