Pillow

When did you allow LO to sleep with a pillow - in their crib?

DD is 21 months and she recently started coughing in her sleep. It usually only happens once a night and lasts for a min or two. If she sleeps thru she will wake up and cough a lot for a few min and then she ok the rest of the day.

A friend of mine suggessted giving her a pillow but, everything I read said no pillow in crib.

She did have a cold about 2 weeks ago, not sure why the random coughing would still be going on. I've been putting her humidifier on every night too.

DD is 3 years, 4 months and I JUST started giving her a small "toddler" pillow. She sleeps with it usually until I go to bed, then I take it away for the rest of the night.

I might try propping her mattress up slightly with a blanket or towel to raise her head a little bit if she is coughing.

DS started using his monster teddy as a pillow at almost 2. We gave him a real pillow when he moved into his big boy bed at 4. He still uses the monster on top of his pillow.
