Toddlers 1 - 3 years what age did you start using a pillow and duvet?! Toddlers 1 - 3 years When to expect introduce pillow and duvet? Toddlers 1 - 3 years What age did you give your child a quilt? The guidelines for both are from 12 months onwards; DS seems to go through phases of wanting a pillow and not wanting one, so the offer's there of one and if he doesn't want it on a particular night i just pop it at the end of the bed.
He does also have a duvet, but recently i've just put a fleece over him if anything because it gets so warm in his room and to keep him warm i prefer to put a vest under his socksuit rather than a blanket because i know he likes his freedom. Jonathan 3 in Jan has had a toddler quilt since sometime last year, and a pillow. He trails it round the house with him, on the couch for naps, under the table for " being the dog". He has fleece on top of it for night time bed.
We didn't give dd a pillow and quilt until she moved to her bog bed at 2. She slept in a gro bag before that, and loved it!!! She didn't want to give up her gro bags, bless her! Pet hair remover that's highly effective and purse-friendly!

When she moved to a big bed at 2yrs8mths I gave her a proper size pillow although a thin one and a duvet. We got the duvet from Ikea and it's supposed to be a cot duvet but I think it's perfect size for her cot bed.
We bought pillow and duvet for daughter last month, she was 19 months and she has slept so much better with it! We had to change as she was like 'The Great Houdini" and could get out of all all her sleeping bags and so was waking in the morning really cold!
She actaully took to it really quick and we think she is really cute when you say goodnight to her she shuffles her bum down and pulls the covers up to her chin!
I was really cautious about what i was buying mind you and we went for a pricer set from mother care which was advertised as my firts pillow and duvet and was from 12 months! DD has had pillow since going into her cot at 3 months. In hospital her cot was propped up one end. As much as we tried we couldn't get her to sleep flat. We tried propping up the legs of her cot but it never helped but putting a thinish pillow under the bottom sheet did help. Until around months safe sleep guidelines recommend a clear cot, from this point you can introduce a baby safe pillow.
The advantage of a pillow is that it encourages a baby to sleep at one end of the cot, rather than move around like they may have done previously. Therefore the first step I would recommend in the transition from sleeping bag to duvet is to introduce a pillow. Once your baby reaches about 18 months, I would consider introducing a cot duvet along with the pillow. This can initially be done for nap times only. Bloomsbury Mill's vibrant cot bed duvets will help make the transition more fun and less daunting.
Digger enthusiasts will love the construction vehicles design while the woodland animals design is perfect for little nature explorers. Rather than using a sleeping bag for naps, put your baby into the cot with their duvet and pillow to get them used to sleeping with them at nap times.
The advantage of starting with naps first, rather than overnight sleep is they can get used to the change without impacting their overnight sleeping. Once your baby is managing to stay in one place and sleeping well in the daytime for naps, using the duvet and pillow, then you can continue this to the overnight sleep. Some toddlers may ask for the duvet to be used overnight at this stage and not want the sleeping bag.
Choosing a duvet and pillow pattern with a vibrant and imaginative print like Bloomsbury Mill's cot bed duvets can help make the transition more fun and less daunting. Once your baby is sleeping well, with their duvet and pillow, in the cot, enjoy it! I am often asked about the ideal time to move a baby into their big bed.
Moving a baby into a big bed too early can often have a less than desirable outcome; even a toddler that has previously been sleeping and settling well might start thinking 3am is party time!
The only exception to this is if your baby learns to climb out their cot. If this is happening, then you must move them into a bed for safety reasons. If your baby is extremely mobile, a natural climber, this would be a reason to keep them in a sleeping bag for longer; it is harder to climb in one! In order to do this they will need to be able to get out of bed to use the potty or toilet. If your baby has been in a duvet for a little while by this point the transition should be easy.
So there you have it, hopefully super helpful? Also merino sleepwear is really helpful during this time, as it helps to regulate temperature much more effectively than other fabrics. Also using a nightlight can be very helpful.
