Is it safe to use a pillow and quilt for 11 month dd?

[sum04]

I was looking at purchasing a pillow and baby quilt to use for my 11 month old dd, as she seems to sleep alot better when using our pillows during the day for her nap, but was wondering if it would be safe to use all night in her cot.
Does anyone else use them for their dc's and how old were they when they starting using them.x

I started using one with ds when he was 14 months. Think they recommend waiting till 12 months as at that point the risk of cot death is neglible. But obviously that is a sliding scale and she isn't far off.

I think so long as she can left her own head and move her body easily it shouldn't be a major concern.

The thing which triggered me using one was I took ds camping and he was sharing my bed and seemed to love the pillow though I thought he wouldn't as not used to it.

My ds has had a pillow since he was 7mths more purely as it helped him sleep whilst he's been full of cold ( and unfortunately at almost 10 mths he still is). We don't use a quilt as i'm not quite confident that he would be able t lift it off himself yet, but is more than happy with a baby blanket. Xx

i think this is something only you can judge, cot death is not limited to an age range, my cousins son died at 3 years from this. tragic accidents happen. my children were all different my son liked to sleep on his back so he started early with pillow and quilt however my daughter always ended up on her belly so i had to wait longer which is why i say you would have to make the decision. maybe start with breathable pillow and build up if you unsure.

My DD has always had a pillow. Laid completely on the pillow in moses basket as she seemed more comfy, and when she co-slept with us she used to be ontop of the quilt, on a pillow (full body length) with the blanket over her. she loved it. Then when she had her own cot she had her pillow (normal way round) and her blankets. introduced a quilt around 11months but she lays on it and we bring the extra bit of quilt over if needed. (she still has her blankets too) shes now nealry 18m.
