Hi All,
We are talking about purchasing a toddler bed for DS in preperation for when the new baby arrives and needs the crib. Right now DS is 20 months - I am wondering - does anyone know at what age its safe to give a toddler a full out bedding set? All the little toddler beds online have a pillow with a top sheet and blanket/comforter pictured.
We give DS a blanket at night - loosely over top of him. I just can't imagine him using a pillow, sheet, and blanket safely. He is such a squirmer and will end up at the opposite side of the crib come morning.
We have never used bumper pads in his crib - I have always had a fear of suffocation. I have never put anything in his crib (besides his lovey that he holds while he sleeps) and just a few months ago started using a blanket over the sleepsacks.
Should I just give him the same blanket to use and forget the sheet and pillow once he transitions to the toddler bed?
What has been your experience?
Thanks! :)
