When Can You Put a Pillow in a Crib?

That is so cute! He's definitely old enough to add additional blankets or a small pillow. Stuffed animal with only stitching for the face. Nothing he can bite off and swallow.

The ban on pillows in the crib is for the period when babies don't have enough head control and/or neck strength to get out of a potentially suffocating situation. A 14-month-old is well past that, so don't worry!

AWWWWW lol. I'm sure he'll be fine. Maybe you can get a really flat pillow, or a kids' sized pillow. My son does seem to sleep better with a pillow. I don't use one in his crib, but I do use a plush throw that I got from Target for $10 to cover his mattress (it's his blankie). But he loves diving his body into a pillow at night after a bath...seems very comforting to him. My son is 18 months.

My son started to using an adult-size/full-size pillow... a soft one... when he was 12 months old. Helped tremendously. Particularly if he was already sleeping when I would transfer him to the crib.
