At 18 months, most children can safely start using a pillow—the general guideline is between 12-24 months. What matters: the pillow should be thin (2-4 cm), medium-firm, and made of breathable material. It needs to be large enough not to slip into the bed. A standard toddler pillow works fine. Watch the first few nights to make sure your baby doesn't flip face-down onto it.
