Hi everyone. So my daughter (20 months) is still wearing sleepsacks to bed every night and every nap time. I do have a duvet, it’s a 4 tog toddler one, but I’m so scared to give it to her. Has anyone started using a duvet yet? She’s nearly outgrown her current sleepsacks and I don’t know whether to buy bigger sizes or introduce the duvet. She moves a lot in her sleep and I’m so worried she’d go under the covers 😣

My little girl has had her duvet for a couple months now. We first introduced it at nap times before using it over night to get used to it. Her main problem was that she could kick/push it off but couldn't necessarily pull it up meaning she would get cold. However she seems to have hacked it recently and has it overnight now too without any problems. Hope this is helpful☺️

We have just moved my daughter to a duvet. She doesn't know how to cover herself yet, so before going to bed I put it back, but she doesn't seem bothered

I hve a duvet for my LO. He’s never ended up under it but always out of it which is the problem because he gets cold

I’m exactly the same, but have taken the plunge and got a duvet as the sleepsacks that she has are so expensive I don’t want to buy a couple to then only use them for a couple of months. Will see how the duvet goes 😂 xxxx

I’m going to continue with sleep sacks for as long as she’s happy in them, because it stops her trying to climb out! She moves around SO much as well, so I know she’d just end up uncovered and cold! I got my last set of sleep sacks from Vinted for a few quid and they’re perfect! x

Thanks everyone. I think I’m going to take the plunge and give it to her for nap times to begin with. I never actually thought of the trying to climb out thing so if that becomes an issue I may revert back to sleepsacks xx

My LG has been in her big bed and with a 4 tog duvet for about 6 weeks. I've always kept the duvet to under her arms, and she hasn't seemed to struggle with it. I put socks on for warmth, but she's started requesting no socks (our flat doesn't get cold), as I thinks she likes to regulate her temperature like I do, by sticking her foot out from under the duvet.

We introduced a duvet and pillow two nights ago. I’m still so nervous about it! I did tuck the bottom under the mattress but still 😔

We haven't tried it yet. I did try with a blanket at nap times and it wasn't even over him by the time he fell asleep! We are sticking with the sacks for a while at least until the weather is warmer and it won't matter as much if he's uncovered.

My son is nearly 20 months and I’ve only just introduced a pillow (under his sheet) and seems to be doing well staying up one side of the bed for once! He loves his sleep sacks and we’ve just brought the next size up. We probably won’t introduce a duvet until this winter as he does try to climb out if he hasn’t got a sack on!

We use duvet for nap I say that lightly as son just kicks it off. We started using duvet at bedtime but he kicked it off as was waking up cold so we’re still in sleep bags for overnight and plan too until it gets warmer our flat is well insulated so probs until mid/late March. He slept most of spring/summer in just a sleepsuit or vest last year

I am keeping my LO in a sleep sack for as long as possible as prevents her climbing out easily and keeps her warm
