Next to me, to cot, from cot to toddler bed

Following

Duvets and pillows aren’t advised before 1 years old. If your child is sleeping well without one after 1 year old I wouldn’t complicate things for yourself by adding one if not needed and warm enough in clothes/sleep sack.

I think I figured it out?

So next to me cot till there 6 - 12 months old

At around 12 months you can introduce a duvet / pillow.

Then change to a crib until they are roughly 2 years old

Then change to a toddler bed (they use the same size mattress as a crib and are low to the ground)

Then there is normally a upper weight limit of 35-50lbs for the toddler bed

to which you can then move them to a ‘twin bed’ (like a small single) when they’re too big, just have the rails on the side of the bed so they don’t fall out.

Our LG outgrew her next to me around 6 months, at which point we moved her to a cot in her own room. Her cot becomes a toddler bed. She’s only just 1. Not bothering with a duvet or pillow etc just yet as she’s sleeping well in her sleep sacks. I guess once she starts being able to climb out of her cot is when we’ll look to transition it to a cotbed.

Generally next to me will only last you to 6 or 9 months old, I'd recommend going straight to a Cot bed rather than a cot as you can get an extra year or 2 out of it. My brother was in his Cot Bed until 6 years old, just took the sides off and it becomes a toddler bed

We moved from next to me to cot at around 5 months, then from cot to floor bed at 1 year old! Haven't introduced a duvet yet as she's OK in a sleep sack for now but she does have a toddler pillow under the bottom sheet x

My little one was out of her next to me when she was 6 months 😢she’s was and still is a very long baby she moved to her cot at 6 months and still in her cot now with a lot more room still she’s now 14 months atm she has only a pillow in her cot as she gets very warm very quickly and I use her sleep togs still x

My son stayed in the next to me cot until 6 months old, then went into the cot bed in his own room from 6 months. He’s now 21 months old and still in the cot bed. A friend advised me to keep him in the cot bed for as long as possible before changing it to the toddler bed.

I won’t be giving my son a duvet and pillow until he’s in the toddler bed.
