My LO hasn't arrived yet, but for her cot, i've bought various sheets and blankets, i also have the duvet that came with the cotbed set. I personally don't like the sleeping bags, so i'm planning on layering the various sheets and blankets depending upon how hot/cold the room is

 

[kay126]

I didn't have a sleeping bag to begin with but LO even as a newborn used to wriggle out of his sheets and that meant he could have wriggled under them too. I've found sleeping bags keep him cosier, he doesn't wake up cold in the night because he's kicked his blankets off either. Most cotbed quilts shouldn't be used til they are one, like my set. Just keep an eye out for that.

Does Charley stay underneath it?? Im keen to start Isla using hers but she ends up at the top of the cot in a heap!

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Most of the time no! Lol he'll start the night with it on him but when I go to check on him during the night he's either asleep at the top or bottom of the cot. I think it's too hot ATM for him cos he's not waking up during the night cold cos it's not on him!

We just have a sheet + sleeping bag, although it's so hot tonight LO isn't in his sleeping bag, he's just got his vest and nappy on and is just on his sheet with no covers at all!

I just picked up some sheets from Tesco, with the sleeping bag my LO doesn't need a bedding set as such. I think you can get the sleeping bags from Tesco too

I got the mattress off amazon and the sheets from asda. Then I got the sleeping bags 2nd hand, charity shops are always full of them, or look on netmums nearly new board.

is this a bargain? I cant find a duvet under £20 anywhere else!!

 

[Piglet10]

i got super expensive cotbedding sets from mamas and papas, and not once has it been used! lol they hang over the side for decoration!!

i personally wudnt use bumper again as baby can wriggle in under, we ended up just using fitted sheet and sleeping bag at beginning and then fitted sheet and just baby blankets xxx
