do you "make" the crib like you would a bed?

Now that DS is older and bigger, i wonder if i should make an attempt to make the crib like a bed. What I mean by that is tuck in a blanket around the bottom and see if he will actually sleep under it. It's getting a bit chilly at night and he never, ever keeps his blanket on (although I must put it on him before leaving the room at bedtime). Does anyone do this successfully?

    We had to switch my son to a regular bed early, but he NEVER sleeps under a blanket.  He's just too restless.  So I just dress him warmer, and then don't worry about it.

    We don't tuck my daughter's blankets in.  They are not big enough.  We use the crib comforter and 2 homemade blankets that are around the same size as the comforter.  My daughter moves around a lot though.

    DD sleeps under a blanket but I don't tuck it around the mattress.  That would just be too much work, trying to reach over the side to tuck it in.

    yes. when DS gets up we fold his blankets and then put all his animals back in the crib corners.

    I dont make DD's bed, but when I straighten up her room I do fold her blankets and set them on top of her mattress.

    She does sleep under blankets, but she's a thrasher like me and it would probably be more trouble than it's worth to really "fix" her bed and tuck anything in.

    We put a pillow in his crib a few weeks back... kind of to get him ready for a bed.  We tried a blanket too... but he balled it up and slept on top of it.

    yes - we do this! it works really well, and i think he likes the secure feeling of being tucked in at night (i always did). i pull the blankets up to his shoulders, and he usually wakes up with them no lower than his back. so, pretty good!
