What did you use after sleep bags?

[Thegracefuloctopus]

Firstly, how long did you use sleep bags for?
Basically, DS just turned one. He has always had a sleep bag for bed except during heatwaves. He knows when he goes in it that it's time for bed.
We have recently moved house and lost a number of sleep bags (I wasn't able to pack as DS went into hospital the day before we moved!) so we have been left with 3 1tog bags, one of which has just broken and another was wet through last night. Our tumble dryer is dead so I can't wash and dry it by bed time.
Cue panic!
We wondered if instead of spending loads on the next size up/tog up for bags, we should switch to layers and blankets. But how have people done the transition? What kind of blanket do you use? I really don't want DS to start climbing out of his cot at night and he moves around so much in his sleep. I plan to wait until he's asleep to put a blanket over him but I'm unsure what's considered safe at this age? I was so up to speed on the sids advice for newborns, but at this stage all the advice seems conflicting. Help me out!!

I think 1 is too young for blankets as it's hard for them to tuck themselves back in if they need to.

I'd invest in sleeping bags for up to 3 years old as you'll still likely get 18 months use. You could get second hand.

Otherwise a larger duvet than you need tucked in firmly all the way round should stay on. Eg for a cot bed get a single duvet but put across the bed instead of up and down it and tuck it right the way under
