Just because you can introduce a pillow when your child is 18 months doesn’t mean you need to.
Many toddlers sleep just fine without one, and if your child seems comfortable at night there’s no reason to force them to use a pillow.

Hi,
You can give a normal pillow if you want but pillow is not mandatory.
