To not know when to move to a duvet and pillow???

[stellenbosch]

When did your child get a pillow, and a duvet (or sheets?)

Dc (22months) has a grobag and cotbed, but I think would be better suited to a pillow and duvet? But, there's no sodding manual for this stuff!

Aibu to think that I haven't got the foggiest when to know when the time is now? Lol 🤔😂

Dd was about 11 months I think! I was trying everything to try to make her sleep comfortably. She never had any truck with a gro bag and would scream if you put her in one but used to get all the covers off.

Ds had a gro bag for quite a long time - beyond 18 months I'm sure. He definitely had the gro bag even when he went into a bed and thinking about it I'm sure he was about 2 when this happened. He didn't like pillows at all for ages

They arent recommended under 1 year due to suffocation risk. Highest tog recommended for cot/cot bed is 4.5tog. Single bed can have up to 10.5tog

When they moved from a cot to a bed, so about 18 months.

From 14 months for a duvet. No pillow yet though.

Dd2 just got a pillow weekend just gone, she’s 13 months and still in her cot and gro bag but I thought she’d like the snuggliness of a pillow. I got the Ikea cot pillow for her, it’s soft but thin. She’ll get a duvet either when she decides she doesn’t like gro bags anymore or like dd1 when she moves into the toddler bed at 3ish.

A flat pillow from quite early, 8 months as she slept better slightly raised and I tried raising the cot on one end or the mattress by using towels and she just slid down the bottom. Duvet a few months after so before 12 months. DD is now nearly 4.

She hated grobags, sleepsuits and anything restrictive . I just checked on her and she has taken her nightie and pants off in her sleep but is cosy under her duvet .

Our ds had one since we put him on his toddler bed at 17 months

When they shifted to a bed. I reckon they were around two.

I suppose I'll just have to give it a try!

Thanks!

Mine moved to a single bed at 2. I used a sheet and 2.5 tog duvet. Tuck the sheet in at the sides so they can't kick it off or roll out of bed. Start with a toddler pillow. It is flatter so safer.
