We are co-sleeping so he's often trying to sleep on my pillow. He put's his head on it and says "Sleep".

Two is just fine. Usually any time after one is ok.

It's fine now that he is two. I let my daughter use a pillow at 18 months, and she's almost 3 and there has been no problems. They say that around 18 months their body is developed enough for them to know if they have a hard time breathing, and they would wake up if it were happening. Before that though, they wouldn't wake up.

My son was 18 months when I gave him a pillow. The biggest concern is if they are strong enough to turn their head if they get stuck face down etc, for smothering reasons. I would say that your son is just fine. I got my son a very flat pillow to start. God Bless

It's okay for him now that he's 2. Up to about a year old, letting babies sleep with pillows is a big suffocation risk. But he's old enough now.

I would say that 2 would be fine. Is he asking for a pillow? If he is then I'd give it to him.

2 yrs. old is fine. The pediatricion told me whenever they ask for one. I would use a very flat one for starters.
