Re: First pillow for toddler
One night DS was sick and I gave my one of my pillows to prop his head up. He's never given it back! So he just uses a regular pillow.

I also used a regular pillow. He also has a cookie monster shaped pillow that is in his bed but I do not think he has been really sleeping on that lately!

At what age did you give your DC their first pillow?

Re: First pillow for toddler
I actually need to by DD her first pillow and I came across this:
http://parent.guide/how-to-choose-the-best-toddler-pillow-for-your-child/
It specifically says not to give your child a regular pillow.
"If you have not heard of toddler pillows before then you may be wondering why a toddler can’t simply sleep on a regular pillow.
A regular pillow is designed to provide support to the adults head and neck. A toddler does not have the same proportions as an adult and resting on a regular pillow will place unnecessary strain on the neck and shoulders. Continuous strain may lead discomfort and sleepless nights or worse, poor posture.
Toddler pillows are designed around your baby’s proportions, allowing for a comfortable sleep while providing your little ones developing body with appropriate support."

Thank you! This is very helpful. Let me know which pillow you buy.

That one looks good. Tx!
What do you do for a pillow case? The regular size ones are too big right?

I just used a regular size - it's a little big but it's fine.
