Toddler pillow or nothing???

we're switching our 2yr old from crib to twin bed this weekend but I'm afraid of using a pillow, she she never did. She loves sleeping on her belly which makes things me even more nervous about the pillow. What are your thoughts, anyone use pillows, any special kind?

I gave DD a travel pillow (because it was smaller than normal pillows) at two.  She didn't use it until closer to 3 though; now at 3 1/2 she uses a normal pillow.  DS has been using a travel pillow for about 4 months now.  He has always loved to be propped up when he is sleeping.

My LO is also a tummy sleeper.  He would wake up every morning with his blanket balled up under his head.  Finally around 18 months I was at Ikea and found a toddler pillow.  It's really small and maybe an inch thick.  He's been using it ever since.

No pillow here- he rolls all over in all directions. When I tried a pillow, he kind of burrowed under it.
