Can my 9 mon old baby start using this pillow safely and do they come with pillow case? If not, do you sell them as well?

9 months old is WAY too young--using a pillow in such a young baby would increase the risk of SIDS/suffocation. Wait until your baby is at least standing/walking independently, but ideally until 2 years old.

I personally wouldn't use this for a 9-month old. It does not come with a case.

Infants should not use pillows because of SIDS. I think the recommendation is no pillow until age 2.

I am not the seller but I think this maybe a bit too high for such a small baby. My 17 mo old just now started to use it. You probably can write to the company and ask for specifications but I think this pillow is for 2 y.o. The pillow is amazing and works nicely. It does not come with pillow case.

As a grandmother, I would say that you child is a little bit too young for this pillow. It is pretty fluffy, and I would be afraid that the baby might suffocate if it gets into the wrong position. Pillowcase does not come with the pillow. I ordered a pillowcase off of amazon.com that fit this pillow perfectly. It is the perfect size for a toddler to take to daycare for naps.

As a Pediatrician I wouldn't yet recommend use of a pillow for a 9 month old. I would recommend waiting until after 18 months.

I don't think it is recommended for babies quite that young. We got it for our 2 year old shortly after her birthday. When we lay her down she puts her head on it but at some point before she falls asleep her head is no longer on it. We have a 9 month old as well and the pillow is bigger than she is (she's petite). There is not a pillow case included. It is a wonderful pillow when the time comes to purchase one for your little angel.

We did not use an additional support pillow and our infant fit perfectly. We used swaddling blankets for support at the very beginning. Our little man was 9 lbs at birth for reference.

these are sold at target. if one is more comfortable than the other and you can afford it then go for the bunny sleeper. one thing though, the support piece that your child will lay on is VERY hard so what I did was, I place a very fluffy and comfy blanket over the top of it and under the top piece. There is velcro at the top where the two detach from each other and a blanket can be shoved in there. this will ensure that your babys head isnt lying on a hard surface.

I thought the same. My kids haven't complained about them though. They are four and two and have very large vocabularies with which to convey EVERYTHING:) A doctor might say different but firm seems good for infants right? Hope that helps.

I really don't know, it did not come with info on getting extra pillow cases. How about trying one of those bed

At first I thought they might be but they are in between. My 4 year old doesn't have a problem with it. The pillowcase is pretty decent in terms of softness. Is it a high thread count, no...but it's not like sleeping on sandpaper either. I hoped that helped.

The only pillows that you need to buy are thr 2 large pillow foam shapes that fit in the square pillow cases. All of the pictured pillows come with the bedspread set

I do not believe a baby that young needs a pillow and I wouldn't use it for a baby that doesn't rollover yet. However, if you want to have one to try it out, get this pillow because is very slim and soft and you can use for a long time (my baby is almost 2 and still sleeps with it.

Well I just measured ours and it's 14" x 10" x 1" which is different than what Brian Campbell just posted and slightly smaller than I posted in my review awhile back (which was 15" x 11.5"). Is it possible they come in different sizes and that maybe ours shrunk a little when I washed it? We've loved ours. It was a great first pillow for my 1-2.5 year old...but now I think she's ready for something bigger.

You will get what you see in the picture. The infant body pillow is purchased separately, and is worth it in my opinion. This is a great car seat given its safety and weight range, the body pillow just gave us the extra comfort with out infant as it improved stability. We purchased the (click link) Britax Head and Body Support Pillow, Iron/Gray

they are a little smaller than standard size. I just tuck in the ends of the pillow case. Never thought to look at the pillow manufacturer website or other listings to see if they offer cases to fit. Anyway, not so small that I would feel compelled to look for a child or travel size case - it's in-between.

I use them for my grandsons when they come down. I use a regular pillowcase - it fits sideways - then I just fold over the extra.

No, but Amazon sells them separately. I also found them on eBay. While I was deciding which cover to purchase, I used two standard pillow cases to cover my new pillow -- one on each end. Worked well for temporary use.

I would say yes, it would be fine for a 9 yr. old. The pillow pet is not really good to cuddle with because of the hard plastic case on top. but the "fur" is very soft. My 5 yr old granddaughter and I enjoy laying in the dark watching the lights shine on the ceiling. She often falls asleep during the light show. The pillow pet has a 20 minute (I think 20) timer and turns itself off.

I say yes. The most important things to remember are no blankets, pillows, or stuffed animals in with baby. I use as primary bed for my son. Started using at about 4 months. He is now 21 months. Love it!

No, you have the option to purchase one. I don't have one, my sister does. I like using my own soft pillow.

Yes, most of our pillowcases are out of stock right now on Amazon. We do however have 2 white options still available: one is a 200 thread count and the other is a 400. (Both envelope/back close style). The prices for those respectively are $10 and $14. I also believe we still have some dark blue pillowcases in inventory with Amazon (140 thread count). The best way to find these on Amazon is to go to our pillow page and then click on the "A Little Pillow Company" link under the Title and it will take you to our storefront. Otherwise, we carry our entire line on our website (approximately 20 or so prints there). We will be restocking of course on Amazon but it may be a few weeks before everything gets there and checked in. Heather McCoy A Little Pillow Company PS Thrilled you love the pillow!!
