Hi moms, so per my question yesterday, and the feedback I got, I think it's time to let my LO have a pillow in his crib, so he doesn't have to wad up his blanket under his head! I'm looking at Amazon.com and there are so many to chose from. Just thought I'd see if anyone recommends a type/brand that they like. Looks like many of the review say they have cheaper filling and go flat quickly. But some are as much at $50 bucks. TIA for your input moms!

What can I do next?

My toddler has 2 pillows. I bought him a "half" pillow at a local high end bedding store where they custom made a down filled pillow for him. It was $50. Then I left it on an airplane, and had to buy another. Grr.
He also has 2 pillows that are "half" pillows filled with natural latex. I think they were about $35 each. I bought them on some organic website. They are organic, do not harbor dust mites, and have no chemicals. I have washed both the down and the latex pillows and they have come out fine. The rubber pillows are sort of lumpy, but comfortable for sleeping.
I see you are in the Denver area - the Brass Bed is the place that custom made the pillow for me.

Each one of my kids has a different animal pillow from Angel Dear. They LOOOOVE their pillows, and they have become their security blankets. We have the frog, the hippo, the monkey & the puppy pillows (1 extra for my son to bring to school for nap).

My son just used a regular pillow. I think it was $5 at Target. I had to replace it because he drooled a lot and it got stinky. For the next pillow (same $5 Target version), I got an allergen/waterproof cover for it that goes under the pillowcase to protect it from the drool stink.

These pillows are amazing for kids! My children are now 5 and 8 years old and still use these pillows every night that they got as toddlers. They put their bucky pillow on top of their "regular" pillow. They are so comfortable, the cover is soft and the pillow is safe for a toddler. Good luck! They also sell them on amazon for the same price and you may be able to get free shipping.

I bought a little one at Ikea awhile ago for like, $10.
My 17mos old DD is sleeping with it now.

I did find that DS - at the time - didn't use it long (he was 18mos). I found a flatter foam pillow that we had that he still sleeps with today. He's 3.5 now.

We found both at Ikea & are very happy. The pillow is great, so many we were finding were too puffy for my LO, theirs is just the right size!
