Hi, was wondering at what age or skill level is it recommended/advised to stop using a sleeping bag for babies?

Red Nose Education

There is no specific time when a child should stop wearing a sleeping bag, apart from the risk of a child using them when no longer in a cot
If a child is wearing a baby sleeping bag whilst sleeping outside of a cot be careful! A child wearing a baby sleeping bag and not confined to a cot is at a higher risk of falling and being injured. The child must be actively supervised and the sleeping bag removed as soon as the child wakes.
