Is this safe?

I have a 4 week old newborn. He sleeps well in his crib for the first half of the night, but gets a bit windy and fidgety after his second feed at about 3am. For the last 3 nights he's not really slept at all after 4am. Last night, at about 5am I put a pillow in his crib and laid him on it. The wind seemed to ease straight away and he went straight to sleep and didn't wake up until 8.30am.

Is it safe for him to sleep on a pillow? Just to clarify - his whole body is on it, not just his head. He's ebf, he's in our room, he uses a dummy, we use the angelcare movement monitor and we don't smoke so his SIDS risk is as low as we can make it.

If its not safe does anyone know of a safe alternative?

TIA
