For babies, general pediatric guidance is clear: until baby is at least 12 months old, no quilts, pillows, blankets, or soft bedding should be used. This is because they increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
After the 12th month, a lightweight, breathable baby quilt can be used. Important points: the quilt should not go above baby's shoulders, edges should be tucked under the mattress, and it shouldn't be heavy or fluffy. A sleep sack (sleep bag) is a safer alternative than a quilt for up to age 2.
In short: quilts are off-limits for 0-12 months; safe, lightweight use is possible after 12 months with proper precautions.
