My 21-month-old son won't stay in his Grobag any more so I was thinking of getting him a duvet and a pillow. He's still in his cot so I was going to get a cotbed duvet. Someone told me you shouldn't go above 4 togs if it's for a cotbed in case of over-heating and other websites say not to give them any duvet or pillow until they're 2 because of the same reason. Is it ok to get him a 4 tog one at this age? Don't want to be worrying that he's going to boil alive!

I'm fairly certain that at 21 months you'll be fine.


We've recently bought a duvet and pillow from Mothercare for our son (3) and the boxes for both said not suitable before 12 months. The duvet is 4 tog, he used to sleep in 2.5 tog Grobags, and we've had to start putting an extra layer on him under his PJ's as he complains he's cold, which has never happened before!

I'm sure you'll be fine. If your son is all over the place in his cot and won't stay under the duvet you can also consider these polar fleece sleepsuits until he's bigger. They're expensive but really good and they're lined with cotton and toddlers can walk around in them quite well.

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
