Changing bag to quilt?

[sarahloula]

My dd is 2.4 years, still in a cot which she loves and I am happy to keep her in for a while longer but she s getting too big for the 18-36 month old sleeping bag so want to get her a quilt before winter. Does anyone/has anyone used a quilt in a cot? Firstly I assume a single quilt would be too big and I would need a toddler bed one? Secondly, I know this sounds daft but she sleeps so well and I am worried that if her quilt will get in the way when she's moving around and disturb her and ths sounds even more daft but i'm also worried about her suffocating herself...ridiculous I know!

Sorry...meant sleeping bag to quilt...tired...very early start this morning!

yeah just get a cot or cotbed quilt, most baby places will sell them!
mine never had sleeping bags, always used blankets and then a quilt and we never had issues with it getting in the way or suffocating them :-D
she'll be fine. and you get to choose cute duvet sets too!

Very true, she has her heart set on a Peppa Pig quilt...to match all of the other Peppa Pig things in our house! Thank you!

Excellent thread - I'm in the same situation. I'm scared as ds sleeps a solid 12 hours... It must be done though!

We just swopped onto the gro to bed gro.co.uk/grobag-nursery-stay-on-bedding - I tried a quilt on its own but dd wriggles around a lot and kept kicking it off would use the gro to bed in a cot but it would fit a cotbed or a toddler bed.

We did exactly this: sleeping bag to duvet while still in cot. Got a single, tuck half of it under the mattress, that way it can't fall off and you haven't wasted money on pointless cotbed duvet. I started putting it sideways as the width is exactly the length for cotbed, but DH put it on the right way round and there is just enough to tuck her in. I do have to tuck her in a lot... It's easier now five months later just at bedtime and when I go to bed. For about two weeks she was having too much fun with the duvet to sleep properly but then the novelty wore off!

The Gro to bed quilt set as mentioned above could be worth thinking about. I only just bought one for DS who is 3.7yrs and wakes in the night and asks me to ' sort my covers!' Now I can say no, as I know they are roughly still in one place and I know he just wants an excuse to get me to go in to him iyswim!?
