Also, at what age did your kids quit taking naps in the crib? On the couch etc, i would love for him to take a nap with me.. but that wont happen he wants to get into everything, hes not really a snuggler!

Answer 1

My daughter started to use a pillow when she was 11months old.

Answer 2

I didn't give my daughter a pillow until she moved into a toddler bed.  I didn't really see a need for it while she was in the crib, she was perfectly comfortable without one.  She always takes her naps in her bed (or crib when she was in one).

Answer 3

You can probably give him a pillow now, if you really want to.

My oldest son starting using a pillow, around 15 months.  My daughter didn't start using a pillow until she switched to a toddler bed at 2years 8months.

My kids slept in their cribs until they were over 2.5 years old.  Then we switched to beds completely.  For napping and bedtime.

Answer 4

my son is 14mths old and has been using a pillow since just before his first birthday. it started as a way to help ease congestion when he napped (he got a couple colds this past winter). He uses a pillow all the time now..and he only sleeps in his bed. He's been using a toddler bed for about a month now and loves it.
