Put the corners into the corners ... spread the rest out ... hold the bottom edge and shake firmly ... fasten the buttons ... simples ... I’m sorry 🤭... I just don’t get the difficulty 🙃 shall I go back to sleep ... 😴

Me either @Dovefromabove. It's just an overgrown pillowcase so same principles apply.
@wild edges - maybe you need the lavender oil then for when littl'un feels consoled enough to drop off again. What's he feeling poorly about? Not still on teething is he?

We found some interesting bedlinen when we stayed in a youth hotel in Moscow. Imagine two sheets sewn together on all four edges, and a large oval cut-out in the middle of one sheet. You use it with ordinary blankets like we all used to use. Lay the sheet thing on the bed with the hole uppermost, spread as many blankets as you want on top, and tuck them inside. A sort of do-it-yourself duvet, and easy to change the cover. No reason why it couldn't be used with a duvet.
@wild edges We are not much for 'homeopathy' here, but our childrens' chiropractor recommended homeopathic extract treatments that you dab on their jawline during bouts of teething. It is brewed by a lady in the Kootenay's. One is called 'Pain Away' and ingredients list oils of lemongrass, basil, peppermint, clove, spruce, fennel, wintergreen, thyme in amica, & olive oil. The other is 'Toothfairy tea' and ingredients include: oils of chamomile, clove, lavender, orange, peppermint in evening primrose, & Amica oil. I swear it works like magic. We can only get it from one store here in Kelowna (Canada) and usually I get the last one in stock. It is very popular. Definitely effective.
I just used to shut the door and turn the TV up louder. Oldest was a chancer, and would have been awake all night otherwise. She eventually went to sleep and realised that's how it worked. She never used to come out the bedroom once she was in there though. I do remember going in one night and finding her asleep against the side of the bed, where she had been climbing back in. She also used to go through every drawer and take things out. It often looked like burglars had been in. I do the duvet the way @Dovefromabove describes. Top corners in, hold them together , then shake from the bottom. Of the duvet - not mine...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@WonkyWomble went through a sleepless period ... we tried leaving her to settle ... that inspired her to learn to walk and come into our room ... go to the bottom of our bed ... lift the duvet and crawl up between us ... an uncomfortable night being poked by bony little elbows was marginally preferable to a night on the armchair in her room reading Burglar Bill 🙄
