 Topic: Bedding for Baby

Hello
The Feb 2009 mums have been discussing bedding... are you allowed to use quilts on baby's bed if they are made of natural things? Or are they a no no like duvets until baby is about a year old?

I used those cot quilt thingies on the three big girls beds, but lil miss doesn't actually have any bedding, she sleeps in a merino sleep sack with one blanket tucked up around her.

I know people say not to use duvets until one year old, but Caden has had a duvet every since he has been in his cot(since about 2 months old).
He is abolutley fine, he is in a safe T Sleep and cant go no where, he kicks his blankets off these days if anything.
But its totally up to you

I used a cot quilt for the first 4 months and when it got colder I changed to a cot duvet for my first. This time round I am using varying cot duvets depending on the temperature. I never had any problems with the duvet (in a duvet cover).

Cooper had a quilt from day 1. No problems with that at all. I just made sure that the quilt went up to around just below his armpits... he was also wrapped.

Yep same here! And I tuck it in tight. He isnt wrapped anymore cos he hates it and gets out of it, but he is in a sleep bag.

Yep, cot quilt here for Ella from her first night in the cot, and the newbie will have a cot quilt too. I know 'they' say not to use them for littlies, but in all honesty I can't see why. Maybe a loose (not fixed to the inner) duvet cover poses some risk, but cot duvets aren't made like that anyway.
