Pillow and duvet/cot sides

My LB is just 15 months and he has a cot duvet and pillow now ! I introduced it slowly starting with supervised naps in my bed, then naps in his cot with it, working up to overnight sleep ! He sleeps so much better with a pillow ! And he quite often requests his duvet out the cot so he can sit with it to play with his toys 🧸 we’ve tucked it in at the bottom so he can’t pull it up too far, but he’s always wiggled to the top of his cot so that’s where we put his pillow. I’ve also found it’s stopped the night wakings !!

My 16mo has a pillow (silent night toddler pillow I think it’s called) but still in sleep sack with cot sides up. No way am I thinking about taking them down yet either as my boy sounds the same as yours, he can open his bedroom door etc. I’m pretty sure duvets are safe whilst cot sides are still up but I’m sticking with sleep sacks for now as he moves soo much!

My little boy has had a pillow for a few months and he sleeps so much better with one. He moves about way too much so still in a sleep sack

My lil girl with be 16m in about a week or so, and she’s had a pillow and duvet for a few months now! She still has both sides up because she’s not at the point of trying to climb out but I don’t tuck the duvet in so that she’s still able to sit up etc when she needs to, I cover her up after she’s asleep and bring it to waist level and she’s either kept it there or kicked it off xx

I’ll be leaving side up as long as possible 😆
We left it on with my son until he was 3. He never tried to climb out and was just so happy in there! Also meant we could have a proper conversation with him when we took it off.
I personally don’t see the rush unless they have the ability to climb out , if they are happy

She is still in her cot. She wears a sleep sack (with feet) to sleep in no blanket. We recently introduced a pillow, to see if this helps her sleep more still, which it has, she goes to bed with a small teddy to hug and her taggy.

I would say no quilt until at least in a toddler bed.
