Sleeping with blankets

CoppersWifey

Do you let you LO sleep with a blanket? Does he/she pull it over their face and do you let them? My daycare lets her sleep with a blanket over her face, but makes sure it doesn't get tight. I don't like it, but everyone I've talked to says you can breath threw the blankets and they don't think its a big deal. Just wondered what everyone else's input is. She really likes having it on her face and she goes down for a nap much easier with it. TIA!

DD naps w/ one.  sometimes it is over her face.  if i can move it w/o waking her, i do.  she does not sleep w/ one at bedtime.

I put blankets on her, but she's never had them on her face. If anything, she wiggles backward away from it.

Ya at night she sleeps with a sleep sack and thats it. I'm the most paranoid person in the world so this is freaking me out

DS has slept with blankets from day one. He sometimes gets it over his face but when I check on him I move it. By the end of his nap/sleep it is usually off him altogether. I don't worry at all.

No. But more importantly, shouldn't you be able to specify whether or not your LO sleeps with a blanket at daycare? It would be a priority for me to be able to say "no blankets in my baby's crib" at his daycare.

I think about it this way...how do you feel when a blanket is over your face? Meaning, yes, she may like it, but how is your breathing when it is on your face? I know that I start to get warm and sometimes feel like I need some air!

I would not be comfortable with that. In fact, we did try a blanket w/ DS b/c when we weaned from the swaddle, I did not have any sleep sacks yet. DS would end up w/ the blanket on his face and I was not comfortable with that...even if he can breathe through it! 

My DS was the same way... he slept better w/ the blanket. Since I wasn't comfortable w/ it, we gave him a lovey and it had the same effect! Maybe you can try that instead?

DS sleeps with a knit afghan.  he has never gotten it over his face--i tuck it under his armpits. every time i go in to get him out of bed, he's laying on top of it.

if it was over his face, i'd take it out of the bed.

No blankets for us- ped told us to wait til DS was a year. ?

I let DS sleep with 2 loveys (animal head w/blanket attached), but I didn't start until he was 7 months old. I'm still too nervous to put a blanket in there. He's fine in his sleepsak.

DD sleeps with a blanket and has since she was put into her crib at 7 months.  Before that she co slept and we had blankets and a comforter that she would snuggle underneath.

DD has slept with a blanket since she was moved to her crib from a bassinet at 3 months.

Kian has also always slept with a blanket and will not go to bed without one - he actually sleep with a baby pillow too, again he wont sleep without it.
