what age can i can i child sleep with a pillow?

my son is 12 months old and i want to start giving him a pillow to sleep on,as he will put his head on a teddy or blanket and go to sleep on it.i know you can give baby quilts at 1yr but dunno about pillows or if it can cause cot death at this age?

Answers:
All my babies got their 1st pillow at the 12 month stage , i know cot death is a real worry but i`m sure at 12 months you are passed the risky area , at 12 months your little boy will be able to move around freely to find where he`s comfy . If ur really concerned why not try and put the pillow under his sheet so it is secure but his head and neck will still be supported ...

When my son was a year old he got a really bad sinus infection so I put his boppy pillow in his crib to keep him propped up while asleep, and he is now 2 and still sleeps with either that or a normal pillow.
