    Question Would you buy a quilt for a toddler?

    Hi,

    DS (16mths) currently sleeps with us but we're getting him a mattress (to put on the floor) for those times we want to be "alone" and as a long-term option for when we have #2.

    Only thing is - should I buy a quilt to keep him warm when he's not in with me? He will end up coming in early in the morning, so layering him in clothing isn't going to work that well (same goes for sleeping bags...).

    I've seen a great organic cotton quilt by Organature, but am not sure if it would be warm enough (being cotton).

    Eventually I suppose DS will stay in his toddler bed longer in the night - so, having not done this before, I'd love some wise counsel from other mums (or dads) re the use of quilts with toddlers and 2-3yrs.

    Also, should I buy a sheet set, or just a fitted sheet?

    Thanks
