Using pillow/bolster

[babytazz]

Hi mummys,

Wonder when did you all start using pillow and bolster for your child? My MIL started nagging about wanting my son to use pillow and bolster. I insisted pillow should use after 1 yr then she went on to say son should use bolsters to place on both sides of him (like what my sister in law did to her 5 mths old son) so that next time he will use.. I feel it's not correct.... he don't need these now. Also mentioned if don't use buy for what.. Now I regret buying and storing here at home. Hai..

newborn dun need pillows. just use a cloth diaper as pillow. or if u really want, get babysafe oval shape pillow with a hole in the centre. this oval shape pillow is for 0-6mths babies.

Unless you place yr baby sleep sideways, den mayb can let yr baby hug the bolster. but some bolsters r quite big.

my son from birth until now doesnt use the pillow or bolster. his pillow will endup somewhere else, bolster he dun like, he prefers his beanie.

May i ask who is taking care of yr baby?

intro pillow/bolster only aft 1yo. i intro those dimple pillow to ds when he was NB, and when we brought him to his jab at 3mth old, pd said his head was v flatten, and was due to the dimple pillow, cos he lie on it, he become lazy to turn his head, pd called him, he only turn his eys to look at him, die die dun wan turn his head. and becos he dun turn his head, it became v flat.

and also, pillows n bolsters can be very dangerous! might suffocate them! so pls keep all these away from him =)

I thought so too about the suffocate part.. esp when he's so small, won't even know suffocating.

since he will be going to infant care, not to wry. i believe tt infant care teachers noe hw to tc of him. as for night time, he is slping with u right? if so, then dun wry, cos u'll still be the one deciding whether to give him pillows anot =)

Actually not too worried abt pillow coz I'm definitely not giving that. Only more worried abt bolester but you r right! I can always put the bolesters aside at night if she insist on using.. hehe..
