I waited until Nate was around 2 1/2 years old but that's just me.

i don't think i'd get any sleep if i gave him one anytime soon. i guess he doesn't really need bedding for his toddler bed (though it would look cute!).

one night his room was freezing when i went in to check on him, so i covered him with a blanket. i swear i tossed and turned the rest of the night and went in to check on him like 10 times.

No kidding. I was like that, too. Even with thick PJ's and the temp turned up, nate seemed to be cold. I know I will be like that with Brian. His room is so darn cold compared to the rest of the house.

Brayden doesn't use a pillow yet but he uses a blanket, always has. We haven't had any problems and he loves it, it helps him go to sleep because he just sits and plays with it (its real soft!) He also has a teddy bear thats always in his crib and we just recently put his bumpers back on..no problems. Since Finn is quite a bit older then Brayden I bet he would be fine... but do what makes you feel most comfortable

Jaylon uses a blanket too. He rubs the silky part and it helps him sleep. He also has bumpers in there because I couldn't stand hearing him bump his head on the sides. I have them tucked into the mattress so there is only a little bit showing, but it helps.
I guess you could try him with a pillow at naptime to see how he does with it?

The triplets had pillows in their crib... they weren't real young or anything, but I think they were his age? & they always had their "blankies" for as long as I could remember. hmm.

Jacobs had a pillow since he was about 18 months old.. Caty still doesnt have one.. she tosses and turns too much at night i dont want her gettting caught up in or under it.

My two have a pillow. Logan has had one since he was a year old. I gave him it one night when he was really congestd and i felt propping him up would help him breathe easier. I constantly checked him for a few weeks then realised he was fine

eadie's only four months old so she doesn't have a pillow but she has like, 3 blankets at night because it's so cold where we live. we keep the heat up but i don't want her getting a chill from a draft or anything. we would have to have it cranked 24-7 to avoid that. i give her a few blankets so i can remove one or two or whatever. but her crib is right beside my bed so i guess it's safe. i sometimes pull it even closer at night so i can reach out and touch her hand. i guess when she starts moving more i'll have to really watch her and see how she does. i'm sure finn would be okay with a pillow. he can move now, so it's not like he would turn over and get stuck like that, like an infant would. plus, he's over a year old.

Kaylee doesn't have a pillow yet although I've been thinking about putting one in her crib because when she's playing on the floor she'll lay on pillows & play with her toys. She's always her her "blankie", she won't sleep without it. She rubs it on her face & between her fingers to help her fall asleep. I think Finn would be fine with a pillow!

I think that by the time March or April come around he will be fine with a pillow and a little blanket. He will be old enough to realize if something is covering his face.....therefore he would move or turn his head. Obviously you have to do what you feel comfortable with...but I think that he will be fine.

Plus once the baby is here you will be getting up anyways throughout the night so you will be able to check on him

Rowan sleeps with me sometimes (all the time at first), so she's been around pillows and blankets for a long time now. I knew she was ready for her own because she would lift the blankets on my bed and put them over herself, and pull and tug my pillow from under my head and lay and try to get herself comfortable on it. Finn isn't an imobile little baby anymore, so I think he'd be able to handle some bedding. A little baby might not have enough body control the manipulate bedding if it was causing them discomfort or if it was on their faces, but a baby Finn's age would be. If you do get him a pillow just get him a small one that doesn't have a pillow case.

we put a thin pillow in liams bed when we moed down here so he was 16 months i guess. he wants whatever macy wants and pitched a fit one night til we figured out thats what he wanted and then he was so happy.

we gave Reese a pillow a month ago cause he was really congested, and it solved his sleeping problem he was starting to get, for like 2 months he was waking up in the night countless times! as soon as he had a pillow, slept ALL night long

I know that anything under 12 months is a no no. When i was a baby and wanted a pillow (i used to steal my sisters) my mum folded up a blanket at first to check that i was ok with it and then gradualy used thicker blankets and then finally a pillow

Oni's had a pillow since she was about 3 months old. She would throw up if I didn't put SOMETHING to prop her up.

She slept on her belly so we got a really thin pillow.

She STILL has a pillow. And blankets. But she's been in the toddler bed for about 5 months now.

I don't see a problem with pillows.

Sarah

Dash (who I nanny for) has a pillow. He's 22 months, but has had one ever since he turned 1. A thin one without a case should be perfect, because he wouldn't really have a way of getting caught up in it.

Nanni uses blankies, but not a pillow. I gues I will get her one when we move her to her toddler bed at Christmas time. I am SO not ready for her to be out of her crib yet! Look out world!

Christian has been sleeping with a big pillow since he was little . It's only because he has pneumonia and his dr. recommended that he be elevated . At 13 months its more than ok he is able to move easily if he can't breathe or is uncomfortable.
