We went to visit our day care today and they mentioned we should bring in a blanket for his crib. We use SleepSacks at home. Do you use a blanket at day care or do you use SleepSacks?
If I end up buying more SleepSacks for daycare, do you think it's ok to buy them in size medium, instead of small? He's 13 pounds, so i can't imagine he'll be in the small size for much longer.
ETA: Never mind about the size question. I had a medium in his closet and he's swimming in it.
Re: SleepSack or blanket at day care?
The paperwork they sent me home with mentions SleepSacks as an option. But really, it's lose/lose. Ha. I've tried tucking a blanket into the bottom of the pack n play during naps, but he usually kicks it down and doesn't seem to care for it. He's better with the sleep sack at night, but if I'm putting it on him after he's fallen asleep it sometimes wakes him up. He's probably better off with nothing! I guess we'll figure it out.
Thanks for the responses!
I don't want to worry you, but there have been a number of cases of SIDS in the first weeks at a day care. They hypothesise that the air in the sleep areas in these DCP cribs had worse ventilation than at home. I introduced a fan in DD's PDP sleeping area. Personally, I wouldn't put anything in that crib with a baby under a year. Put extra layers or a sleep sack on the baby if you think they might be cold, but it's better to have a baby cool as overheated babies have been associated with SIDS as well.
Sorry. I was 100% paranoid about SIDS with DD. Do what you want.
