The Internet is full of horrific stories of how babies have suffocated to death because of using baby pillows. I think most of such stories are overstated. I have a two year old daughter myself and have been using baby pillows for her right from the age of one and a half without any problems. Yes there are some precautions which you have to take. Firstly, never go in for cheap products, they are most likely to compromise on quality to keep their prices down. I scoured WalMart, Woolworth and specialized baby product stores before deciding on which type of baby pillow to buy. A little bit of research on the Internet also helps. You can use a narrow but firm pillow or a memory foam pillow for the purpose. In my opinion, a memory foam pillow though a bit costly is a better buy. As the name suggests, the memory foam pillow molds to the contours of the babys head and thus provides a very good support. It was worth the buy because ever since my baby started sleeping on the baby pillow I have not seen her vomit her nightly feed and she sleeps oh so soundly like an angel.
There are other advantages to using a baby pillow. According to some doctors, having a pillow, raises the babys head slightly above the rest of the body and makes breathing easier especially when the baby is suffering from a cold. They also say that a firm support prevents cranial deformity which may occur if the baby sleeps with head to one side for too long. Make sure you check the pillow cover. Choose cotton rich linen as the pillow cover material. Such a material helps prevent allergic reactions or rashes, a common occurrence if using synthetic pillow covers. Dont buy soft or feather pillows, they are the ones responsible for the negative publicity. So go ahead and use baby pillows and see your angel sleep soundly.
