Blankets

Hi everyone
I believe this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find it.
Who uses blankets with their LOs. It will be starting to get cold here and last winter we used a sleep sack and just trying to think which way to go.
Thanks!

We've switched to blankets as of a few months ago -- he sleeps with two that he is ultra-attached to, and this way at least one stays on him throughout the night

We added a blanket a few months ago. Most of the time its just something else to cuddle with. She tosses and turns and flips and flops all over so there is no way it would stay on anyway.

We use fleece baby blankets in the kids' cribs. DS will pull it over himself or wrap himself up in it at night. He likes us to lay it over him now when we "tuck him in". DD tends to snuggle up next to or on top of it.

I'll be putting them in fleece footed sleepers for winter but I still want a larger blanket in there I think. If I buy a blanket/quilt made for a toddler bed, is that also the appropriate size for the crib?

We do. E has his preference, too. He's got to have his snuggle blanket (and he got PISSED OFF that I used one for Amelia today) and he's got one that he likes for a "quilt." I'm going to try to make matching crib quilts for the babies for Christmas, but I'm afraid E won't use his. (Amelia obviously won't use one for many months yet.)

I would like her to use a blanket, but DD is terrified of blankets in her crib. No clue why. For winter we will probably just do layers under footie PJ's and keep the house warmer than usual.

Em has been using blankies since about 9 months old. He loves his blankies!

Sleep sacks and/or footed pjs here.

She sleeps with a blanky, but it's just a thin receiving blanket, not for warmth.  We just use layers under footed PJs.  But I'm in TX, so it really doesn't get super cold here.

I wouldn't be worried about using a blanket, but even my 3 y/o doesn't stay under her covers, so not sure it's practical.

DD has a blanket. I end up re-covering her several times through the night, but she really likes to snuggle with it.

He's had a blanket for several months now... Except he likes to take his blanket, pillow, and two stuffies and THROW them out of his crib every night. So he wears a halo sleep sack anyways until this stage passes.

We just started doing a blanket a week or two ago. I wasn't worried about it before then, but DD used to HATE having blankets on her, so sleep sacks were the only option. But I decided to give it another try and she seems to like it now, she actually keeps it on her all night!
