What bedding does your 18 month old have?

Thinking about options for when DD outgrows her sleeping bags (up to 18 months). I can only find one or two places that do bigger ones and they're pretty expensive. Thinking of going for a duvet and pillow, but is that ok in a cot before the sides are off? I've found a wool all-season one at Dunelm that looks good, but feeling a bit unsure.

I have just bought bigger ones? DD just gone in to 18-36 month ones (17 months). Mine are all Grobags and 2nd hand from ebay for very little.

Duvets are not safe in cots and pillows shouldn’t be before 2.

Also she is in a mini cot bed, so it's only the size of a cot (I understand that cot beds are usually slightly bigger than a standard cot)

Duvets and pillows are ok from age 1
You get cot sized duvets and pillow sets. Max tog 4.5tog

My ds stayed in a sleeping bag until age 2½ years

Ah, thanks @Megan2018
I hadn't thought of second hand, good idea Smile

I kept with bags until about 2.5 when I felt that she would manage to keep covers on. It was also summer so I was less bothered if she uncovered herself.

@SmashedPumpkin321 I went with second hand as that way I won’t be bothered that we probably won’t use them until 3, I’ll ditch them when we move to bed and potty training.
I got 5 in really good condition (different weights) for less than £30 on ebay and can sell them on afterwards.
