But I'd have probably done it around 18 months if it hadn't been summer and very hot. peachykeen on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2444288 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 08:45:39 +0000 peachykeen 2444288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We gave her an A+A blanket around 8 months. She mainly just cuddled with it. Just this past month (16-17 months) we gave her an A+A Dream blanket, and she finally keeps the blanket on for at least part of the night. She wasn't keen on blankets until the Dream blanket - now she requests it.

He got to use crochet blankets (so all very breathable) very early on because I hated to bother with the sleepsack for naps (so 3 or 4 months?). DD still has no blankets since she naps and sleeps at night in her zippy and everything except her pacifiers just keeps her from sleeping. (The only other thing she now has in her crib is a little stuffed animal).

It's silky soft or something like that, and I can't see it ever really being a suffocation risk. <a href="https://www.adenandanais.com/blankets/dream-blankets/flower-child-kaleidoscope-silky-soft-dream-blanket-9306" rel="nofollow">https://www.adenandanais.com/blankets/dream-blankets/flower-child-kaleidoscope-silky-soft-dream-blanket-9306</a> lamariniere on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2444184 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 05:01:14 +0000 lamariniere 2444184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 10 months for DS and 22 months for DD, both times it was an AA Dream Blanket.

He's 17 months (nearly) and we've been doing a light A+A blanket ever since. He still uses a sleep sack but I still fluff up the blanket and put it over him as part of our routine. He likes it and I figure it will get him used to using one one day. Sometimes it ends up at the end of the crib unused, sometimes it covers him all night, but usually he just ends up cuddling/hugging it.

DD2 doesn't like it on her, but I throw one in there from time to time. I don't really understand the risk after they are fully mobile? macintosh on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2444148 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:40:42 +0000 macintosh 2444148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I started putting a crocheted blanket in the crib around 7-8 months. He was super mobile (even in his sleep) so I didn't worry about it at all. I still put him in sleep sacks, though. He moves a lot and I want him to stay warm. Plus, it's a sleep cue (even for naps!). He actually fusses when I start to put it on cause he knows what it means. lawbee11 on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2444140 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:22:27 +0000 lawbee11 2444140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I know it was after a year. Maybe 15 months? We started with an A+A swaddle blanket and now (at 2.5) she uses a dream blanket. She moves around a lot and rarely stays under it, though. gingerbebe on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2444139 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:20:05 +0000 gingerbebe 2444139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At about 1 year we bought these Dream Buddies Sherpa/velour blanket + pillow sets from Costco for $10 each. It's a flat stuffed animal pillow with a crib sized Sherpa blanket. DS still sleeps in a sleepsack and kicks off the covers from rolling around everywhere but I thought it would introduce him to the concept of bedding and give him some residual heat just being next to his body as it started getting colder at night. We ended up buying 4 of them because they wrap in a little tidy Velcro package for transport and it's nice for him to have for naptime at daycare and when we travel.

At home, she sleeps in a sleep sack to this day and she's 2.5, haha. But she sleeps in a queen size bed with pillows and a comforter pushed to the bottom of the bed, and she's still in her sleep sack. delight on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2444087 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:16:54 +0000 delight 2444087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Champagne: Glad I'm not the only one milking the sleepsack for all its worth! She'll be in one until I transition her to a bed and I'm no where near doing that yet! LO loves her crib and SS!

Just the A&A kens. I actually cut one into four pieces to start as a lovey, but it didn't last long before I just used the actual blanket. They are 100% his lovey now. He has to have 2 or 3 in certain spots.

Last week she was sick so I thought I'd try giving her a warm blanket over top. Big mistake. She never gets up at night and that night she called for us about 5 times because her blanket wasnt on properly and needed us to fix it. We will not be doing that again! Do your kids all keep their blankets on?! Or do they just not care when the blanket lies crumpled at their feet? I think we will attempt a blanket again when she's in a real bed. catomd00 on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2443968 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:29:26 +0000 catomd00 2443968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Started around 9 months with a lovey, by a year she had a minky blanket. Now, at almost 2 I think she has like 5 blankets and 2 loveys and a bunch of random dolls. I used to think crochet blankets were the way to go if you were nervous, but a few people have told me Stories of their kids pulling holes in them large enough to get over their head, or cutting off the circulation in their finger or toe, so they make me more nervous now. I'd try Muslin first if you're concerned, but at one she should be just fine. autumnlove on "when did you let your LO have a blanket in bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-have-a-blanket-in-bed#post-2443941 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:04:31 +0000 autumnlove 2443941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around age 2 at home.
