My daughter is just over 2 yrs old. I tried to give her a pillow when she sleeps only to find that during the ngiht she scoots of of it. I personally can't sleep without a pillow. I just think she would be more comfortable with one. I have tried puffy ones to slim ones. She sleeps on a cot with a pillow at daycare. Should I keep trying with the pillow or give up?
Just leave it there and don't worry about it. If one day she decides to use it, then it's there. If she doesn't, it's no big deal. I've met some adults who don't use a pillow. To each his own, even kids!
My youngest is 4 and he moves around so much that when I check on him before I go to bed I find his feet on the pillow or he is sideways sometimes he is still on it. I'd still give it to her but keep in mind just because you need one and find it comfortable doesn't mean she will be more comfortable with it.
My 6 year old is all over the bed when he sleeps, sometimes even turned sideways or upside down so the pillow is by his feet. I don't move when I sleep, so I don't get it. Keep giving the pillow and I'm sure she is doing whatever is comfortable for her. As long as she is sleeping, that's all that really matters.
I wouldn't worry about it. I have never really liked sleeping with a pillow. I keep one by my head in case I need it to prop up on for something, but when I go to sleep I remove my pillow because I feel like it strains my neck - and I have tried all kinds. She just may not prefer it or she may decide she will want it later on.
just give up. When she wants one, she will seek it.
She probably just moves around a lot while she sleeps. My 2 1/2 year old does that. He does like his pillow and wants in when he goes to sleep. I say just keep giving it to her and let her do her thing. As she gets older she'll begin sleeping in one spot.
Our boy is just over two and he has a little travel pillow in his crib. Most times he doesn't use it, but occasionally he does. One day he'll realize it's more comfortable to lay his head on it (which we do show him sometimes, so he knows why it's in his crib). For now, it's just something to play with. But we leave it in there - it's not hurting anything.
She has been sleeping without for over 2 years..she is not used to it! you can offer it, but she may not use it. My daughter had a hard time sleeping with a pillow when we gave her one in her toddler bed. She was trying to sleep with it, and she got upset because it was bothering her. So, we took it out. when she moved to a twin bed, we gave her one again, but since there's enough room, she can move down below it if she wants. let her decide what's comfortable for her...kids do a lot of things differently from us!
My four year old refuses to stick one under her head before her afternoon nap on the couch and often will sleep for two hours with her head at a severe angle and no pains after the nap unless I slip a pillow in there when she is asleep. I don't think a pillow is entirely necessary but I would have one present so she can try it if need be
