Health Canada Recommendations Health Canada recommends to add items in a baby's bed only after 24 months. With this in mind, our mini pillows are designed for children between 2 and 5 years old. Every child is different and your little sleeper is the best indicator. If you are questionning if your little one needs a pillow, observe them when they are asleep. If they put their head on a blanket or a stuffed animal, it might be time to introduce a pillow in their bed to ensure a good night sleep and maximum comfort. Before 24 months old For babies with reflux, Maovic's mini pillow is a must!
