I've seen a few posts that mention the use of blankies or security blankets. I'm sure DS would sleep better with something snuggly but I'm terrified because anytime I let him play with bib or burp cloth he puts it over his face and leaves it there.
When did you introduce it? After they were able to roll over? TIA!

Same her except it's a light blanket. He LOVES napping with it on his face. I just move it once he's asleep.
DD and DS have both liked to pull blankets up near their face. DS eventually graduated to over his head, I'm sure DD is headed the same direction.
I started them both out with a blanket right away. It started out no where near their face when they were tiny, but eventually they're big enough to do with it what they want. The blankets we use aren't heavy, so I'm not worried about it. Sometimes DD uses her burp cloth like a blankie and that's pretty small. Sometimes it's a receiving blanket or a muslin/gauze blanket, which are obviously really light. Basically as long as it's not heavy enough to really restrict airflow I'm comfortable with it, but that's just me. By the time they were old enough to intentionally pull things up near their face they were also old enough to have good head control and turn their head if necessary.
Before I go to bed at night I pull the blanket away from DD's face since we're both going to be sleeping for hours. I don't worry about it during naps.
