Pillows and doonas, what age is appropriate?

[Ambah]

We didn't give Aidyn his pillow (a junior one) or doona until he moved out of his cot at age 2.

ds has had a pillow from around 10mths ... i know its not the right thing to do , but as other mums have said , he had a few colds and keeping his head elevated helped .. we put stuff under the cot to keep it raised , but he would move the cot til it tipped off the phonebook !!

no doona , he is a a whirlwind in the cot and doesnt lie still so he prolly wont get a doona for a long time , the pillow is quite flat , and i got it from target ... but god help me if i wash it .. i think he likes to smell the funk

Chelsea has a pillow, from around 13 months. No doona though, but will in a few weeks once she moves into a single bed and out of the cot.

Thanks for all the replies ladies. There seems to be a no real rules when it comes to pillows. I only ask as we've had DS in with us for a few days now with a really bad cold and I've woken a few times in the night to find him on my pillow. I might try and hold off till he's over 12 months.

Seth had a pillow at 2, when we took the side off his cot and turned it into a toddler bed. He still doesn't have a dooner just heaps of blankets, will probably give him a doona when he's in a big bed
