Just that really? Not sure if I should change up my 18 month olds bedtime wear. He's really restless, but always has been. I was curious if other people have moved their toddlers on from vest + onsie and sleeping bag at this point?

Yeah we didn't have a vest and just did two piece PJ's. If it was cold we did a cotton two piece base layer and then fleece two piece on top.

22 month old here still fine in a vest and sleeping bag!

My now 15 month old refused to go in a sleeping bag at around 12 months. Think it was restricting her moving around and getting comfy. She hates blankets so I layered up when it was cold… vests, pjs, babygrow.
She’s currently in vest and baby grow or Pjs. But I think I will be losing the vests soon as it’s getting warmer.

I have an 18 month old and she wears a vest and pyjamas. Up until last night long-sleeved pyjamas but last night I switched her to short-sleeved. That's with a 1 tog sleeping bag.

I only fairly recently stopped using sleeping bags and onesies with my 2.5 year old, as she’s quite tall and had grown out of the 18-36 month bags. It coincided with potty training so we took the sides off the cot bed and moved to a duvet and two piece pyjamas over a pull-up (which we were using anyway for ease)- she’s not dry at night yet but will sometimes take herself off to the potty when she wakes up now.

Poppered vest, sleepsuit and sleep sack till potty training but adjusted for weather i.e. lower tog bag or skip the sleepsuit layer or sometimes nothing but a nappy in a heatwave!

After potty training we kept the sleep sack but she wore training pants and PJs under.

At aged three when switched them from cot to bed we swapped the sleep sack for a toddler duvet or just a sheet in very hot weather.

He's worn two piece pyjamas since he was about a year old. His choice, he refused to let us wrestle him into sleep suits anymore.

He stopped using a sleeping bag when it got hot last year (so he was around 21 months). We just gave him a duvet and he decided if he wanted to use it or not.

At 18.months my daughter learnt get out of her sleepsuits and sleeping bag. It was close to summer so we did vest PJ's and blankets. At 2 we put her in a bed with duvet with PJ's. Through winter it's vest or t shirt with PJ's & socks and in summer PJ's, a dress or t shirt and shorts or just a vest on very hot days. We are happy to put her in day clothes overnight if they are similar to nighties or pjs in terms of cut and material.

At 3 she started to throw the covers off more and was worse if she was cold so we bought a heated blanket for under her sheet and put an electric heater in her room so it can be warmer overnight than the rest of the house as my partner and I like a cool room to sleep in. Since doing this she throws off the covers a lot less and sleeps through more often. We have just dropped her down to long sleeved pjs no vest except on chilly days.

Couldn't be bothered with sleep suits after one year old. Moved to two piece jammies under sleeping bag. Vest and socks too depending on time of year.

Switched to toddler duvet and pillow at about 2 years old.
