It can be dangerous to use a pillow with a child under the age of two. Suffocation can result from using a pillow with a baby. If a baby should end up with his face in a pillow he is not able to turn away from or push away the pillow. A baby under the age of two may roll over face down on a pillow and not be able to roll back over. If a caregiver is not around when a baby rolls over into a pillow,the results can be tragic.
