I've wondered about this. I think we had blankets when I worked at a daycare. I don't think we were allowed to swaddle either.

They use sleepsacks at my daycare until the baby is six months old and then you can switch to blankets if you choose. They are not allowed to swaddle. I would probably bring in a sleepsack for them to use.

I totally understand your concerns and think as mom you have every right to ask them not to. That said, if they're watching her carefully and in the same room it is probably ok? O loves to snuggle with a blanket and is 4.5 months, I put one on her from chest down after she falls asleep. With the video monitor I can see that she's ok.

I understand your concerns. Our daycare does the same.

My son started daycare at 5.5 months. I allowed him a blanket there at 6 months. Not a popular parenting choice, but I was comfortable with the fact that he would move the blanket away from his face then if he needed to. At home he sleeps in a sleep sack. 4 months seems a little young though....

We started off with a sleep sack but switched to a regular blanket around 6 months. She uses a AA blanket in warmer months and uses a thin Lands Ends blanket right now.

I'm not allowing a blanket in the crib until 6 months and I've made that clear to my daycare provider. It's hard because LO loves to snuggle into any blanket and it helps her fall asleep, but in my mind safety is first in this case!
