So, at what age do your kids sleep on pillows?   I know they make a big deal about babies not having pillows ... suffication hazzard, but am wondering when does it become safe?  We do the family-bed and Zeke has taken a new liking to my pillow   Just not sure if I should worry about him when he is napping in there without me.

My dr. said by 15 months you don't have to worry anymore. You can also let them have their own pillow.

I started giving my son a pillow when he moved into toddler bed (just over age 2). I'm sure I could've given him one earlier, but I was afraid of the suffocation thing too.

I gave my son a pillow a few months ago, he is still in a crib but I bought him a smaller sized pillow.  He sometimes uses it, sometimes doesn't.  It just depends I guess...

I made my ds two pillows. Real little ones that are squishy for hugging. I don't see the harm. Without them he just bunches up his blankie into a pillow anyway. Once they can roll over, I don't see how it could be so bad...

I let them use a pillow when they start taking a liking to mine.
