Pillows, Duvets and own bed - 18 months :)
My daughter has recently gone in to a toddler bed, she is a little over 18 months 
I had no problems at all, it seemed to be the right time for her and luckily for me we have had no issues with her sleeping
BUT, she sleeps in her bed in a sleeping bag (gro bag).
The only issue is that when she gets out of bed in the morning she gets upset because she can't walk in her gro bag. She ends up in a heap on the floor. There have also been the odd times that she has dropped out of bed, it hasn't bothered her, but again she can't get herself back in to bed.
SO, what age should they have a duvet and pillow from? I'm considering a duvet but my biggest concern is that she might kick it off and I imagine she is too young to understand to pull the duvet back on to herself? The pillow I don't know, I still have a slight phobia of giving her a pillow lol
I do check on her quite often out of habit between her going to bed at 7 and when I go to bed but during the night anything could happen!

I've just taken the side off my DD's cot bed (she's 19 months) and she's gone straight to sleep as normal - she's always been a good sleeper and now asks to go to bed.
She's still in her GroBag as I didn't want to make too many changes at once, but I was wondering the same thing about a duvet.
Maybe I'll give it a few days and introduce one.
She's had a pillow for a while, one of these...

... and she loves it. I put it under the fitted sheet, although I don't really know why!

I think I might go for the duvet tomorrow and then get a toddler pillow!
Don't come on here so much anymore but its so nice to hear other people wondering about the same random things I do lol!
i will admit she gets a bit chilly BUT we have the vents open on the windows round the rest of the house otherwise its too warm in morning! i put pop a vest on her and shes fine x
