Can a 1 year old sleep with a pillow in their cot?

My 14 month old co-sleeps and always makes his way onto my pillow. I'm about to try and get him sleeping in his cot. Is it safe to put a pillow in with him?

Yes. They are OK from 1 year. I'd choose a fairly flat one

Get a cot pillow, at 12 months babies can turn over, you no longer need to ensure they sleep on their back.
