[QUOTE="apesfordana, post: 556061, member: 13077"] Hey there Jess - Not sure what you're finding out there, but on personal experience, I knew my boy was ready for a pillow when he started putting things under his head to sleep. He'd ball up blankets, use stuffed animals, his arms... When we give him a pillow - probably before he was a year old - we gave him a well used thin pillow. Not anything to thick or fluffy. They sell toddler sized pillows, but I honestly never wanted to buy much that my son would grow out of. So an old pillow it was - cleaned of course :O). He's five now and still uses the same pillow even though we've bought newer ones since. If he's 16months, is he showing signs of discomfort when sleeping? During naps, does he use pillows or animals for his head? We just went again & put a pillow in my son's crib one day, didn't put his head on it or anything... just let him decide if he wanted it. If your boy is like mine was at that age, and if he's still in a crib.. I'll bet you find him sleeping at any angle and position. I wouldn't worry about giving him a pillow - just nothing so big or fluffy that his next is at a crazy angle. Shouldn't be anything thicker than his shoulder. And if you're worried about the pillow case, we never had any issues but you could leave it off for a while or find one that zips. [/QUOTE]
