when can you stop the foot-to-foot position in the cot?

DS is 21mo, but has always slept in a gro-bag, so the foot-to-foot in the cot wasn't as relevant. Now that we want to move him out of the gro-bags however, do I still need to worry about it? am thinking of getting a cot-bed quilt, but don't know if I should tuck it right in the bottom of the cot and put him half-way down, or just put it on as normal and put his pillow at the top of the cot-bed. anybody know? TIA.

i think once they start wriggling it is impossible to keep them foot to foot

at 21 months your DS will be fine any which way

once they are on the move there is pretty much nothing you can do

and if it makes you feel any better they say sids or cot death doesnt happen after 12 months

now watch loads of annoyed posters coming on to prove me wrong on this statistic

oh thanks, won't worry too much then!

If he has a pillow, then slipping under the covers isn't really any more risky is it?
