When did you give your child a pillow 2 sleep?
At what age?
My son is 15 months so no chance of him suffocating or sids or anything.

I think DD was about 11 months maybe???
We started just with the cot pillow and she has had an adult pillow since Christmas.

About 14 months when she went into a big bed (new baby was coming so we needed the cot). We bought a Tontine kid's pillow and she loved it. Risk of SIDS greatly decreases after 12 months. Some people find that their child sleeps much better once they introduce a pillow too. TBH I didn't notice much difference but she definitely didn't sleep any worse!

DS moved into his big bed at 27 months and we just used an adult pillow as I forgot to get a kid's one. He doesn't use it very much as he moves about the bed a lot.

My kids slept between pillows for a long time. I did it that way as that's how it was in our bed.. they'd be between our pillows. DS still, the majority of the time, doesn't want a pillow. DD is just recently asking for a pillow.. but she doesn't stay on it all night.. she eithers moves off it or it ends up on the floor.
