    First:
    The only silly question is the one that you dont ask.

    Yes you can give her a pillow if you want to. You may find that she does not use it.

    Thats definitely not a silly question, Jaykob likes to put his head on a pillow when we are laying down and hes pretending to go ni ni's. Sometimes ive had to take it away because he falls asleep on it while hes pretending lol but i think thats a really useful question!

    We used the pillow from the moment Matilda was in the big girl bed. Just to have something that she would associate with it. She didn't always use it at first but now when she sees her pillow she lays down on it.

    I am not looking forward to the big bed either coz it means he isnt a baby anymore

    Can i just ask... at what age can you start using a pillow? The reason I ask is we were recently given a cot sheet set and it came with a cot pillow. I know it's a nono for little babies.. but at what age CAN you use it?
