Using a pillow before the age of two can be dangerous. Using a pillow with a baby increases the risk of suffocation. If a baby should end up with his face in a pillow he is not able to turn away from or push away the pillow. Babies under the age of two often roll over face down into a pillow and can not roll back on their own. If a caregiver is not around when a baby rolls over into a pillow,the results can be tragic.
Toddlers around the age of two can safely begin using a pillow. Not all toddlers view a pillow for just sleeping. Pillows can be viewed by toddlers as a source of security rather than comfort. Toddlers may prefer to hug a pillow because it is soft and springy. The cuddly feeling when hugging a pillow may help a toddler feel more secure when a caregiver is not around. Toddlers do not use pillows only for resting their heads but may sleep with their entire body on it or curl up with a pillow. Toddlers may often view any pillow as a time to curl up and go to sleep.
