sleep with a toddler pillow 
Posted On 09/22/2020 03:03:04 by Biloban

What About Safety?

Even though most children over two are capable of sleeping with a toddler pillow without the risk of suffocation, that doesn’t mean you should throw just any adult-size toddler pillow in their toddler bed. There are still safety concerns to keep in mind.

 

If a toddler pillow is too tall or thick, it could cause neck strain for your child.

If a toddler pillow is way too fluffy, it could make it more difficult for your child to breathe comfortably in bed.

Children with allergies may have increased symptoms when using a toddler pillow to sleep.

Some toddler pillows are made with unsafe materials, like small pellets, that could pose a choking hazard if the toddler pillow were to become damaged and start leaking.

Remember that all children develop differently, so while one toddler may be able to safely use a toddler pillow, another may not quite be ready.

 

Your child’s size can help determine whether they’re ready for a toddler pillow. If they are small for their age or have weak neck muscles, it may be best to hold off for a while so a toddler pillow doesn’t become a safety hazard.

 

Safe Sleep for Toddlers

In addition to making sure you’re buying a safe toddler pillow for your toddler, there are other safety precautions you should take when moving your child from a crib to a bed:

 

 

Material. Kids who are sensitive to environmental allergens should sleep with a hypoallergenic toddler pillow designed to reduce or limit the amount of bacteria and mold that can grow on the toddler pillow over time.5 You may also want to choose a toddler pillow covered in 100 percent organic cotton since it will be free of chemicals.

Filling. Many toddler pillows are now being stuffed with eco-friendly materials like buckwheat and hemp, but those aren’t a good choice for toddlers (partially because of the potential choking hazard). Down feathers may also trigger allergies.6 Stick with toddler pillows containing a synthetic fiber filling or memory foam.

 

Support. Think Goldilocks here: not too firm, not too soft. You want a toddler pillow that’s comfortable for your child to sleep on, but you should err on the side of firm, not fluffy. A toddler pillow that flops around like your child’s favorite well-worn stuffed animal is probably too soft to provide any real support.

Size. A toddler doesn’t need a standard- or queen-size toddler pillow. Most  toddler pillows are about 13 by 18 inches, which is more appropriate for smaller heads (and smaller sleeping spaces!).
