What age did you swap your baby's grobag for a duvet/quilt and pillow?

[Tailfeather]

My 13 month old is still in a grobag. My sister had a v expensive sleep consultant for her little one and was told she should have swapped to a duvet and pillow at 12 months. I know there's no set rule, I was just wondering when most people swap. My LO moves around so much that I don't think a duvet would work right now...

We swapped when we took the sides off the cot at about 22 months. My DS was climbing out and I didn’t think a sleeping bag was safe when he could walk about. Took him a while to get used to the duvet so I’m glad we changed over in summer

We swapped only at 2.5 years, when he went into single bed (from cot)

[crazycatlady5]

12 months as she hated sleeping bags with a passion!

2 and a half years old when he went in a big bed

Swapped to pj's and cellular blanket in the cot at 9 months. Then to cot bed at 13 months. Duvet at about 15 months and a pillow at about 18 months. DD loathed grobags.

DS1 and DD moved to a duvet when they went from a cot to a bed at 2. DS2 stayed in his grobag in his big bed for a few months as he liked it and wasn't dry at night.

What is the argument for moving them at a younger age?

DD always hated the sleeping bags, so has always had her own blankets for cosleeping and when she went into her own room at around 1 we got her a small duvet, she doesn't use the pillow.

When they could stand up in them. They got tangled up in them. so, at about 8-12 months
Didn't give them pillows until 18-24 months or so.... can't remember exactly.

We will be doing it soon, when DD grows out of her winter one. So in a few weeks - she'll be around 2.

I'm dreading it because she loves her bag! Getting in downstairs for stories is part of her bedtime routine. I'm hoping making a fuss of letting her choose her own duvet and pillowcase etc will help.

Sides are coming off the cot and its turning into a toddler bed at the same time too, as I'm pregnant and in a few weeks my belly will mean I can't reach the bottom of the cot anymore.

13 months is no way too old to be in a sleeping bag. They go up to about age 4 I think!

[Equimum]

Oldest son was about 2, and you get son about 2.4 - basically when they outgrew the rather large 6-18m sleeping bag!

My DD is 13 months, I've recently introduced a pillow but still using the sleeping bag.

[UnaOfStormhold]

There's a long gap between when rhey want to be able to walk and when they're able to manage a duvet without parental assistance because they've kicked off the covers and they're cold. We've found footed sleeping bag/suit hybrids are really handy. Dreamgenie are really expensive but Vaenait do them in varying thicknesses (including 2.5 tog) up to 7 years old.

[MrsZippyLake]

I think it was around 12-18 months old. Duvets are much easier than sleeping bags when they get to that age!

[Backenette]

15m. Into his own room and bed (previously in ours - co sleeping had worked well up till then but it suddenly stopped working as well.)

[ineedwine99]

18m old still in hers, she loves it, probably won't use a duvet until she moves into her bed

[Shadowboy]

Nearly 3 for my eldest. She loved her sleep sack. She had a pillow from 3.

My little one (15months) is still in a grow bag because I don’t fancy getting woken up because she’s cold as she’s uncovered herself. I don’t think she’s mature enough to make the connection that pulling the cover up will keep her warm
