My little girl sleeps through fine but does move around all night in her cot whilst in her sleeping bag. I’m thinking of getting her a toddler duvet and maybe pillow to see if it helps her sleep a bit more soundly in one spot?
For those who’ve already switched, what advice would you give? What did you look for in terms of when to change?
Are sone people still very against it and are you sticking to sleeping bags with no pillows for a while longer?

If it’s any help, my boy stayed more still in a sleeping bag, no out of it he’s constantly getting himself in awkward positions and then crying for help very frustrating, happened 5 times last night on top of his dummy falling out etc but you won’t know unless you try it

Both mine have stayed more in one spot since sleeping with a pillow, could be a coincidence but that’s our experience. They both really love their duvets, I find they get really snuggled up in them. I just changed when the weather got colder and I thought they’d need more warmth x

My son rolls around like a rotisserie chicken - always has since 5 months and is 27 months now - and pillow and cot blanket did not change that until about 1-2 months ago - he finally pulls up the blanket and (by choice) throws the pillow out of the bed as he prefers sleeping without one 🤣 so no that won’t solve that - if anything a sleep bag at least ensures they stay warm as blanket would just get thrown off and then bubba would wake up when gets cold instead - on the bright side warmer weather is coming so won’t need sleep bags can just be in pjs - so I wouldn’t rush

We use a pillow but not a duvet. Seems to sleep a bit better with it z

My son still rolls everywhere and I have to keep an eye and recover him 🤦♀️ thankfully he doesn’t seem to wake up cold and seems to prefer a quilt.

I was just thinking maybe as her pillow and duvet are positioned then she may stick to one spot in her bed rather than be wriggling so much in her sleeping bag.

maybe a better fit if she’s sleeping ok to leave her in the sleeping bag then and see how she gets on. I still take teddys out so perhaps with a few around her she may be a bit more cosy

I might try pillow first just to see how she gets on with that x
