Using a pillow for a baby is not recommended by doctors. Typically, a child can begin using a pillow around the age of two. Toddlers can become attached to their pillows. Toddlers may find pillows give them a sense of security when they hug the soft,springy material to their body.
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. A baby under the age of two may roll over face down on a pillow and not be able to roll back over. If a caregiver is not around when a baby rolls over into a pillow,the results can be tragic.
Introducing a toddler to a pillow can begin around the age of two. 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 lay down on a pillow or hug a pillow to them when they are sleeping. Toddlers may grab any pillow they see and curl up with it to sleep.
