What age did you introduce a pillow and or duvet?

I’m curious to know I’m others opinions thoughts and advice when it come to introducing a pillow and duvet to you little one? (Particularly a pillow for me.) My LO sleeps on his front and has done for a long time now and I have also been told to prop my LO up at night, by my GP, due to respiratory issues, however how did you know when www right and when did you find best to introduce a pillow?

I still follow the nothing in the bed rule (I don't know when it changes) so my boy only sleeps in his sleeping bag, no duvet or pillow. My boy rolls about loads in his sleep so doubt he'd be safe. Could you even put something under the mattress to elevate it to help?x

About 12 months! She's now 13.5 months ☺️

My little girl is 13.5mths and has a baby pillow. Sometimes she sleeps on it and sometimes she doesn't. I think as long as they are moving on their own they should be fine. We also have a toddler duvet but she wiggles about alot and isnt keen on things on her so I went for a sleeping bag with legs as she doesn't like normal sleeping bags and that is working really well.

@Ashleigh is your little one in a toddler bed? Or do you use a bed rail in the cot? (not really sure what they are called) I’ve been thinking about this for my little one x

Pillow at 12 months, he absolutely loves it! I read somewhere (not sure how correct or the research behind it) that duvets aren't recommended in cots, only when in a toddler bed x

I think you can introduce them from 12 months, but they don’t really understand the concept of staying under it to be warm until about 2-3 years old.

We have baby duvet and he loves cuddling it. No pillow though as he just throws it out of the cot. He was 11 Months

Around 1 for pillow and about 18-24 for duvet

14 months he got a toddler pillow and a blanket. He's obsessed

My LO sleeps on pillow and she is 10 months old she sleeps with a duvet as well never had a problem.
