pillow or no pillow???
if hayden wakes after 6-7 in morning i just bring him into my room and lay him on his daddies side of bed and after a wee feed he will often sleep rreally well for up to a good 4 hrs!!! (wish he would do this in the night!!) mentioned to my sister that i think it is because he is comfy ontop of duvet and pillow, and how i was considering using one in his cot, she said that my neice anna (2 tomorrow!!) has had a pillow since she went into cot. so what i was wandering is does anyone elses lo have a pillow and does it help them sleep??
thanks love fiona and hayden 21 wks

My lo is coming up to 14 months and I don't intend to use a pillow for her until a few more months as she is wriggly.
Of course it's up to you what you do but I would advise you not to use one!
when i double checked with the gp and HV about it they both said pillows are ok from about 12-18 months depending on the individual baby, but not before.
It might be the closeness of you being there, or your smell that gets your lo sleeping better.... the other night when Ollie wouldn't settle I gave him my cardie to snuggle up to and he was gone within minutes.

Here is a link to one I've seen:

This would be much better than a pillow on top of the mattress.

My 8 month old son hasn't been struggling with sleeping the past few days due to teething when he's on my bed he falls asleep no issues but in his cot he would take hours to settle and this isn't Like him (always been lucky when comes to sleeping) so decided to try a pilliow got a really thin one put it under the sheet then put the blanket over that tucked it all the tightly and it's not moved. Since we started it he was asleep with in a few min. I personally think it's just some baby's like a bit extra comfort.
