1. Experts still did not come to a consensus from what age the child needs a pillow. Someone claims that already since the birth, and someone and up to 3 years does not recommend to use it. Here it is necessary to take into account to feature of each kid, his situation in a dream and also testimonies of doctors.

For preschool children it is on average 8-12 cm. If the child has an allergy or in family there is to it a tendency, then it is not recommended to use natural fillers (wool, down), except buckwheat pod. It is desirable that the pillow could be erased, and still to regulate on height, having removed one of layers.
