What age is best for a toddler pillow?
Typically, people recommend our toddler pillows for 2 years and up and even then, it’s best to check with your pediatrician. Your child’s pediatrician will be up to date on changing safety recommendations and will also know your child’s heath history including any issues that may impact sleeping, allergies or asthma, etc. Many leading child developmental experts agree that it’s best to allow young children to sleep on a flat surface, and when you do introduce a pillow, choose one that is firm, yet flat – nothing too poofy or fluffy. Pick a pillow that is the right porportions for a child, like a 12 x 16 toddler pillow. If you think about it, giving a small child an adult sized pillow is the equivalent of giving an adult a twin or crib mattress as a pillow!
