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.

    • Labour was right not to increase fuel duty - it's not just motorists it affects, but goods transport. Fuel goes up, inflation goes up. Inflation will go up now anyway, and growth will stagnate, because businesses will pass the employee NIC hikes onto customers.  I think farms should be exempt from the 20% IHT. I don't know any rich famers, only ones who work their fingers to the bone. But it's in their blood and taking that, often multi-generation, legacy out of the family is heart-breaking. Many work to such low yields, and yet they'll often still bring a lamb to the vet, even if the fees are more than the lamb's life (or death) is worth. Food security should be made a top priority in this country. And, even tho the tax is only for farms over £1m, that's probably not much when you add it all up. I think every incentive should be given to young people who want to take up the mantle.
