Does anyone have any tips on how I could get my two year old out of his beloved sleeping bags and used to a duvet? I think the time has come to change but as he is such a wriggler, plus he sleeps on his front with his bum in the air, I am worried he will throw the duvet off and get very cold. Plus getting into his bag is such a sleep signal for him, I think this is going to be hard. Thanks for any advice or experience.

Hi laam


There have been a few good threads recently on the topic of moving on from 'baby' beds and bedding, have a look at:-


Toddler Bed to Single Bed


Sleeping bag to duvet


What age..


Hoping one of these will help you, if not some new good advice on this thread.


cheers

Like any new change sometimes it's sometimes best just to go for it! OR you could try doing both for a while (having the duvet covering his bottom half only and when asleep removing it so he doesn't get too hot). You could also try taking him shopping so he can choose his own duvet cover with his favourite character on it. When you get it home make him help? put the duvet inside and make it a fun and exciting occasion! Best of luck...:)
We have recently done the same with our son who has just turned 2 as he started escaping from his grobags. I was dreading it too but I bought him a couple of cot bed duvets with diggers/trains on which he absolutely loves. He also used to move around a lot but since we've introduced the duvet he's stayed put the right way up and seems to like snuggling up. We got him a pillow too and he seems fine with that. He looks a lot comfier and amazingly climbs into his cot because he can't wait to get into bed with his "big boy duvet"! We've kept the sides on his cot bed though as can't face that yet.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
