When my little one had a really bad cough, the doctor told me to use a pillow under the cot sheet, to elevate his head. I did this but he didn't seem to comfy so stopped using it. To be honest is baby is put down awake then he may sleep the other end of the cot so the pillow seemed pointless anyway 🤣

I tried it because he likes sleeping in a feeding pillow downstairs but he just moved of it ever night before going to sleep flat

My 8 month old has a pillow to keep her elevated as she had bad reflux and currently sleeping with a V shaped pillow as she’s got a cold so just props her up a bit more. Sleeps a lot better with them as well x

I introduced a pillow to my 8 month old last night for the first night and he loved it!! It’s just the small baby one but he was completely sparko. Woke once for a feed and went straight back off. Normally he cries quiet a bit in his sleep, but this didn’t happen once last night 🤞 x
