pillow for a toddler.....

[mum2sam]

my toddler seems to want a pillow for his bed.As he likes to lie on the settee with a cushion. But what sort of pillow is suitable for him and where do i get it from.Hes two in october. I did look in mothercare but it was £17.99 for one anti-allergic pillow which seemed an awful lot.

didn't know you were meant to use a special pillow. My 16 monther has a normal foam pillow and has done since one year old, she has a cot bed so it fits snuggly with no gaps down sides for her to get trapped in.

My ds has had an ordinary pillow since he was about 18 months. It's just a bog standard pillow with the non feather stuff in (can't remember what it's called - pg brain!) and it's just what we have on our bed. Don't think you need anything special unless they're seriously asthmatic/eczema.

According to this link (not suggesting you should buy from there necessarily, as they're not v cheap, though they do also do the hollowfibre ones!) a child's first pillow should be as soft as possible.

thanx guys ive brought one of the hollow fibre ones from toysrus. Il just see how he gets on with that first.
