wheeze please don't thing I ahve hijacked your thread asking about ages for going to a big bed. Thanks to OP DD is content in cot at present so I think i will leave well alone.

Ps Wheeze if you want a smaller pillow and are a decent seamstress you could buy a normal pillow and cut it down to size, then you would have the prefect fit for your cot.

No I dont think that at all. It's a question I'm wrestling with as DS is 2 in a few days.

But I figure the cot keeps him out of trouble if he wakes early and plays for a while!

It is not recommended that you use any pillow or have bumpers/toys inside a cot as the child could use them to get a 'leg up' and climb or fall out.

I put my Ds in his toddler bed with a toddler pillow when he was just turned 2. He has a gate on his bedroom door.

Same as post of the posts - used a proper pillow! I did buy a cot pillow when my son was 9mths as his head needed to be raised at night due to wheezing. But at 12mths i gave him a proper one and he loves it! I put him in a junior bed at 20 mths - a month in to it now and he's a angel at bed time - thought he would be a nightmare but no probs! My eldest slept in our bed until he was 2 (not intentionally but he always gets his own way!) so was used to pillows from the off.

I got my daughter a toddler pillow from John Lewis two weeks ago - I thought a normal pillow was just too high for her. Cost about £8, and it seems to be making her sleep better (it stops her moving up the cot and hitting her head on the bars).

I moved my son into a full size bed when he was 18 months old (but it was one of those truckle bed types, so low to the ground) and then he went into a high bed once he was about 2 and a half. Found he slept much better than in his cot, and started sleeping through the night.

we have a cotbed for our little girl too. She has had a pillow since we converted it to a bed when she was 19 months. It's just a normal pillow and I move it to the side of her bed when I go up at night as she still occasionally (she's 23 mnths now) falls out of bed in the early hours. She loves cuddling it when she goes to sleep and rarely uses it in the traditional 'under the head' position! It fits fine on the cotbed too.
