At what age did your baby start using pillows and duvet?

Perhaps a silly question, but as a FTM, I'm not sure when I should introduce my baby to sleep with a pillow and duvet. He is going to turn 12 months soon and that thought just came to my mind- I have no idea when it should happen!

What tog number is the recommend one?

Not until he was about 2.5 I would say. We did it when I converted his cot into a cot bed, when he trying to climb out!
So took the side off, and introduced a duvet and pillow

Just before their first birthdays ☺️

Actually not 2.5, it was just over 2 I think

When he was 2.5 and in a toddler bed
Until then he was in a sleep sack and cot and never tried to climb out
We only moved him as needed cot for baby

I didn’t get my LO one till a few months before her second birthday. I got her one of the mama&papa duvets so didn’t have a cover as I heard some horror stories 😭 she then got a pillow and ‘proper’ duvet at 23 months as she then had a Christmas one ahahaha

All 3 kids had them since 1 year old, my youngest loves sleeping with his pillow and won't do without it now. I just tuck the end and one side of the duvet around the mattress so he can't pull it up over him in the night

Nursery

Hey mummies and daddies, has anybody got experience with baby not getting used to nursery? My daughter started at 12 months (a month ago) and still has a meltdown every time we drop her off. How long until it settles? I worry that she’s just not happy there :(

Night shifts

How are we doing night shifts with our partners?

My partner is back at work so I only wake him up for nappy changes (my back still kills me after c-section). I breastfeed and our little dude eats every 2-3 hours and then takes a while to settle again. I know if I passed him to my partner, it would just be another thing to wake baby up even more. And I feel bad because he’s back at work.
So I spend most of the night awake.
3 weeks PP, so my milk supply is still calibrating and bottles aren’t an option until 5 weeks or so.
I also really struggle with day time sleeping and with going to bed early, so the idea of him taking baby 7pm-1am and me doing 1am-7am would also cost me sleep.

I’m so tired, I’m absolutely losing it 😭

6 weeks sleeping short

Is 2-3h sleep still normal for 6 weeks old? I thought they'd longer stretches by now

1st night home

Gave birth 3 days ago, very traumatic. Lost a lot of blood, didn’t get induced as planned.

Girl is very sensitive to startle reflux, we have had 1.24 hours sleep last night as she won’t settle in her next to me crib.

We have tried swaddling which didn’t work and a grow bag. She is doing it every 30 seconds and scares herself. Bottled fed as BF for the first 2 days after birth but I cannot continue. Does anyone have any solutions?

Sleep😩

Not sure whether anyone’s in the same boat, but I’m on about week 5 of sleep regression! LO is 4.5 months, his daytime naps are mostly ok, he’s sleeping from around 7:30/8pm until midnight/1am ish, then from 2ish he’s up every hour? Not seeking feeds just cuddling and rocking back to sleep.
He woke up at 5am for an hour and a half this morning, then slept 6:30-7:30, now seems to want a nap again? I follow his cues and he sleeps/ naps on demand. We have a bedtime routine of bath, story and feed.
He’s exclusively breastfed and we’re co sleeping for now to get through this rough patch (he is completely rejecting his NTM crib).

I know that they struggle to tie their sleep cycles together esp early hours of the morning, so it makes sense as to why this is happening but I guess I’m just looking for some advice (I mention it to family but just get the typical “try formula and putting him in his crib, try a higher tog sleeping bag he might be cold”. ) We have tried one bottle of formula before, it didn’t work and tbh I don’t want to give him formula yet!

Thankyou!!
