DD started using one at 13 months but she pretty much slept in the same place all night. DD2 is active while she sleeps so I don't think a blanket would keep her warm.

I put an A&A swaddle blanket over her for naps sometime after she turned one, but didn't start using loose blankets at night until this fall when she was 20-21 months old. I still prefer to put her in a sleepsack because she kicks blankets off and gets cold, but if she fights it, I cover (and then re-cover) her with a crocheted blanket and an A&A. The combo is pretty warm but both are breathable. I'm hoping to get her used to regular bedding in the near future, now that she's two.

DS around 9 months it was blanket and sleep sack, but he didn't move much in his sleep at that age.
DD after a year, but I don't remember when!

Both of their first blankets were AA Dream Blankets, which I find to be very breathable and don't knot up easily.

DD I was more paranoid, started I think close to 18months with a Dream Blanket. She always had sleepsack though.

DS I've been less paranoid, but he also is very noisy and doesn't move a lot in his sleep. He's been using a blanket since the first month. Started with A&A muslin, then Dream Blankets, and now a heavier knit blanket since its gotten colder.

I think we didn't give Xander a loose blanket until closer to 18 months, but with Logan, I just gave him one at 12 months. He loves blankets so much, I thought he'd enjoy having one with him to sleep with, and he definitely does. It's an A&A swaddle blanket though - very breathable!

I gave them each small lovies at 5/6 months and an angel dear blanket after a year. They use(d) sleep sacks for actual warmth though.

He just got his first lovey at 15 months. Ha! I'm not sure when I'll feel comfortable giving him a blanket. He moves all over the place so definitely not any time soon.

We started giving him an A&A swaddled around 9 or 10 months, now he sleeps with a thicker blanket in cold weather

We bedshare so she's probably had some kinda blanket draped over her since 9 months.

I hate posting after an anecdote about a 9 mo and SIDS but.... J has a lovey, it's a blanket, it helps him sleep and everyone needs J to sleep as well as he can so I let him sleep with his lovey. He's 7.5 months.

DS still sleeps in a sack but around a year we started putting this sherpa blanket and animal pillow set they sell at Costco for like $10. Its a flat stuffed animal pillow and a velvet/sherpa toddler sized blanket. He never keeps the blanket on and doesn't really sleep on the pillow, but we lay him down on it and tuck the blanket over him at sleep time so he gets used to the idea. The blanket and pillow are warm so even if he's sleeping up against it, I feel like he gets a little more warmth from it.
