Kids were around 3 when they stopped kicking them off</p> <p>However they were both using muslin blankets (more as a lovey) by 12 months (maybe earlier, cant remember) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2467845 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 12:26:41 +0000 QBbride 2467845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS had really blankets in his crib from probably 7-8 months. I was never worried to be honest. He never slept with a sleep sack because he was too hot. At 2.5 he sleeps with an A&amp;A dream blanket, two other blankets, and a toddler pillow. </p> <p>DD sleeps in a sleep sack still (7 months) but has had a lovey in her crib since maybe 3 months. It's an A&amp;A one and I'm not at all worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2467831 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 12:13:11 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2467831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 or 10 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2467773 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:38:16 +0000 youboots 2467773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got T an A&amp;A dream blanket for her birthday.

I still can't let myself leave it in there overnight though (even though I know I'm being paranoid). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466659 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:06:31 +0000 mfa_lady 2466659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We let our DD have an A&amp;A Dream blanket in the crib when she turned a year old. She's 13.5 months now, and usually just snuggles it for a minute and then ends up laying on/around it all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466652 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:02:03 +0000 schubr03 2466652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466651 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:01:39 +0000 Adira 2466651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: <a href="https://www.adenandanais.com/midnight-3-pack-silky-soft-swaddles-9211" rel="nofollow">https://www.adenandanais.com/midnight-3-pack-silky-soft-swaddles-9211</a></p> <p>They are very thin and very breathable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466641 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:58:25 +0000 schubr03 2466641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: @NovBaby1112: @Adira: can someone post a link to what an A&amp;A blanket is?

I was super paranoid, but she loves her blankets and does well with them.</p> <p>ETA: we still keep her in her sleep sack since she usually ends up outside of the blankets by morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466610 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:29:55 +0000 Eko 2466610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If DH wasn't so paranoid we would totally have LO sleep with a blanket and he's 8 months. If he is sleeping with me we share a blanket. He LOVES blankets. I may start introducing the a&amp;a ones during nap since they are breathable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466525 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:52:23 +0000 LindsayLou 2466525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm another one who's sure to be judged and I'm ok with that. My 6 month old just started sleeping with a crocheted blanket. It helps her fall asleep, she doesn't move much in her sleep, and she's mobile enough that she rolls right away from it when she wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466484 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:43:11 +0000 psw27 2466484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: That is so cute! Our doctor recently reminded us he could have a pillow and blanket. He's in a sleep sack but now I toss an A &amp; A over him before I leave the room. It usually ends up wadded up in a corner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466449 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:27:59 +0000 NovBaby1112 2466449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 4.5 months and Ive been letting him sleep with an A&amp;A blanket- its super lightweight but he likes holding it at night since he isn't swaddled anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466366 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:56:21 +0000 Ms.Badger 2466366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @MrsBrewer: , I'm sure people will dissapprove, but J has had a blanket since about 7 months. He LOVES blankets, he snuggles in, sucks his thumb and goes to sleep. His favorite is crotchet so that's the one he sleeps with. He has never twisted himself up in it which was my only concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466242 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:05:19 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2466242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started trying to put a blanket in when LO was around 1, but she would freak out, so I took it away. I would try again every couple weeks, but it just didnt seem like she like to have a blanket anywhere near her. Now at 17 months, I put it on her, and she rolls over it and ends up laying on top of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466195 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:45:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2466195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cosleep but we've never put the comforter on her. We put a blanket on her around a year since it's winter, but she kicks of it off anyway. She's been sleeping w/ a lovey since like 7-8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466175 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:41:30 +0000 MrsBrewer 2466175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm sure a lot of people disapprove, but I put a blanket over LO and she's 8.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466172 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:40:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 2466172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish a sleep sack would work but she's hated them since she was about 6 months old. She screams until I take it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466167 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:39:31 +0000 erinbaderin 2466167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bennett is 2 and still uses a sleep sack, but we've started putting a blanket over him while he naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466163 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:38:08 +0000 gingerbebe 2466163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started giving these to my son in the fall when it started to get a little colder. He was about 13-14 months. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Miracles-Snuggle-2-piece-blanket/dp/B00IK3428U" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Little-Miracles-Snuggle-2-piece-blanket/dp/B00IK3428U</a></p> <p>They sold them at Costco for like $10 a set - its a crib sized reversible velvet/sherpa blanket, plus a plushie flat pillow. He doesn't keep it on him since he rolls around so much, but it gives him some residual heat when he's sleeping up against it or on top of it and at 17 months, he's learning to pull it across his belly at night and stroke it.</p> <p>We have all 4 animal sets and send them to daycare too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-allow-blankets#post-2466161 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:37:22 +0000 catomd00 2466161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little before 1 at night.

She likes to cuddle with a fluffy blanket but not the little security one that is "crib" approved in my mine. I usually let her fall asleep with the fluffy one and then take it out before I go to bed so I'm not worried at night. When did you let blankets in the crib? </p>
