Comments on: When did your little one start sleeping with a quilt and pillow in their cot? http://quiltersboutique.com/quilting-talk/when-did-your-little-one-start-sleeping-with-a-quilt-and-pillow-in-their-cot.php Fri, 12 Feb 2010 02:59:28 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: MW&M (My 4 Little Monsters) http://quiltersboutique.com/quilting-talk/when-did-your-little-one-start-sleeping-with-a-quilt-and-pillow-in-their-cot.php/comment-page-1#comment-221 MW&M (My 4 Little Monsters) Mon, 14 Dec 2009 03:06:08 +0000 http://quiltersboutique.com/quilting-talk/when-did-your-little-one-start-sleeping-with-a-quilt-and-pillow-in-their-cot.php#comment-221 I let mine have pillows at 2 yrs of age, mostly because they all TOSSED so much it would just end up in a ball in the corner of their cribs/toddler beds and that made me nervous. they all had very light weight breathable baby blankets when they were old enough to sit up on their own. a quilt wasn't used till they were a yr old and only in the dead of winter...i live in Texas, it's not that cold here usually.

Neither like heavy blankets over them, just a light fleece blanket is all they need. They both started laying on pillows around a year.

He is about to sit himself up, stand up himself in his crib, cruise around the sides of it.. he even tries to climb! I think 1 year is a good standard.. but I think you have to look at your baby's development and figure out when they are really ready for it. I don't imagine I will be using a pillow until he is in a toddler bed though. My son is 7 months now and we started him with a light blanket just recently.

I gave them a duvet and a pillow when they moved into a bed. Why buy a special cot size quilt for just a few months of use, if that? They never did.

I think we started a little early with my daughter, but not much. She had blanket sleepers that worked just fine till it was safe to give her a blanket.

Shes had it ever since. I got her her first duvet/quilt last week (16mths old) after she vomited all over her blankets! Its so cute, her cot is like a proper wee bed now. She sleeps very well with pillow and duvet. I heard you could use them from 1yr as long as there were no physical developmental delays, and that baby could sit, stand, move around easily etc. I reckon most babies would be fine by 9 or 10mths but I just didnt bother as the blankets were fine.x My LO started to use a pillow just in november there, around her first birthday, because she had a bad cold and it helped to raise her head a little.

My daughter started using a pillow when she switched to a toddler bed, and it was the thinnest one I could find. She's now 4 and just recently started sleeping with a slightly thicker pillow. My son is 13 months and only still has a blanket, he sleeps on his stomach so there's really no need for him to have a pillow yet. He'll get one when he switches to a toddler bed too.
