She was in a sleep sack until 18 months and we transitioned away from that when it got hot here. It has been too hot for anything. Once it cools I will give her a blanket.

Naps only at first. At first it was tucked in but now it's out and she looooves sleeping all wrapped up in it. It does make me a little nervous but she's finally sttn!!!!! I constantly put the blanket on her head playing peek-a-boo during the day to make sure she can always get out!

He's large for his age so he was more the size of a 12- to 13-month-old. So we've gave him one and he's been fine for 6 weeks. He's growing attached to the blankie, which I was hoping would happen.

I wanted to get her used to it before we stopped the sleep sack. At 24 months, she actually wants to sleep with her sleep sack + a blanket or two. We use an A&A Dream Blanket + a Little Giraffe blanket on top (in the winter).

She uses one at daycare for naps, too. But still no blanket at night, she's 15 months. She does have a rotating menagerie of stuffed animals in there, though. We let her have an Angel Dear lovey at 6 months and she gradually added to the stash as she got older (probably about 10 months on?).

Not gonna lie--I would too if they made them in my size. Seems so cozy. We let her have a blanket in the crib around 18 months. She is a summer baby so it wasn't cold before then. autumnlove on "When did you let your LO sleep with a blanket?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-sleep-with-a-blanket#post-2108274 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:23:40 +0000 autumnlove 2108274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ AA blanket after 2. tinyperson on "When did you let your LO sleep with a blanket?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-sleep-with-a-blanket#post-2108245 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:39:03 +0000 tinyperson 2108245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 25 months?

I think a blanket is fine by now but if it isn't broken... I'm pretty sure I gave my 2.5 yo a blanket by now, but we skipped the sleep sack with him.

I would have felt comfortable by a year but she's a summer baby and it didn't get cold until she was over a year. Her room is always cold now so she has two fleecy blankets (though rarely is she still covered in the morning). She also had a little comforter in there now but shed rather use it as a pillow. winniebee on "When did you let your LO sleep with a blanket?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-sleep-with-a-blanket#post-2108237 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:28:27 +0000 winniebee 2108237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ angel dear lovie around 8 months and probably the full sized angel dear blanket around a year.

It's a knit blanket, so there are plenty of 'breathing' holes. lamariniere on "When did you let your LO sleep with a blanket?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-sleep-with-a-blanket#post-2108164 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 04:33:34 +0000 lamariniere 2108164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO1: AA dream blanket around 10 months. His room was always freezing, even with the heater, so he had a sleep sack and blanket. LO2: is 15 months and doesn't sleep with a blanket. But that's mostly because her room is warm, even with the heater off.

Neither girl put up with a swaddle or sleep sack past a few months. DD1 got a comforter, little pillow, and a toddler bed at 18 months.

He would use the sleepsack, but still have a blanket (comforter). He's 22 months now and we officially ditched the sleep sack as of two days ago, since he kept taking it completely off. Just the blanket now Mrs. Pen on "When did you let your LO sleep with a blanket?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-sleep-with-a-blanket#post-2108040 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 21:48:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2108040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @petunia354: not bad! We did 6 months with an AA blanket with permission from his doctor. He was rolling around, could pull thongs from his face and they're super breathable. If she had said no, I would have waited.

We moved her into her new room and it's cold in there! I have been covering her in a blanket for naps for months though so she's used to sleeping with one. blackbird on "When did you let your LO sleep with a blanket?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-let-your-lo-sleep-with-a-blanket#post-2107962 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:37:31 +0000 blackbird 2107962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We let her have an A&A muslin blanket around 18 months maybe?
