When to switch from a sleeping bag to a duvet?
The sleeping bag, also called a sleeping bag, is one of baby's first accessories. It is found on babies from birth to around 36 months. It keeps baby warm, all night long, in complete safety. There are different models and sizes depending on the age of the child. To find out more, you can read our article on the blog to choose the right sleeping bag, or find all our creations on cocoeko.fr.
At what age should you switch to a baby duvet?
The transition from a sleeping bag to a baby duvet is an important moment. Often, it goes hand in hand with the end of the cot and the transition to a big bed! Each child will react differently: excitement, joy, fear... For this reason, it is important to discuss it with your child and explain why these changes are happening. The arrival of a little brother or sister sometimes precipitates the change of bed. It is then advisable not to change everything at the same time. You can then do this step a few weeks before the baby is born so as not to disturb your child too much! The age to move from the sleeping bag to the duvet cover depends on the development of each child. It seems that this step occurs around 2 years old. However, it sometimes happens that some children have difficulty sleeping with sleeping bags, parents then move on to the bedding set more quickly around 18 months.
When is the right time?
You will feel whether it is the right time or not. Often, this change occurs at the same time as potty training: we then explain to our child that we are removing the bars so that he can get up alone. School holidays can also be an opportunity to change the pace and offer this new thing to your child. Choosing to go gradually can be a good option. First, slip a pillow into your child's bed (not recommended before 18 months for safety reasons) then a sheet or a duvet and then make any changes to the bed.

For optimal comfort and sleep, your child should not be too hot or too cold and it is important to choose a duvet adapted to their age. At Cocoeko, we have decided to put a flap to slide under the mattress to prevent the duvet cover from coming off in the middle of the night and waking your child up.
