1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? We never bought a set, so we don't have one.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? Probably around 18-20 months, since he will be in a cot at daycare.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? Currently 14 months and in a crib at home and daycare.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) No pillow, but he gets a blanket in there, anything from a fleece blanket to a flanel blanket depending on the temperature. He never ends up covered in it though, he usually is on it or snuggling it.

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? Never used the one from DS1's set and we bought him Thomas the Train and Toy Story Toddler bedding when we converted him to a toddler bed

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? We didn't convert DS1's bed until he was almost 3, he was happy in his crib and slept great and never tried climbing out so I figured why rush it. We will wait to see when we move DS2 but at this point it won't be for at least another year

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? DS2 is just turning 1 and still in his crib

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) DS1 started sleeping with a light blanket when he was 18 months old and a pillow when he was almost 2.5...he didn't like them until then. DS2 gets a light blanket for naps sometimes but sleeps at night without one

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? Ours is hanging on the wall... not sure we'll ever use it as a blanket.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? Haven't converted yet, figured we'd wait until DS starts trying to climb out.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? At 15 months, still in the crib.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) He does not use a pillow. He typically sleeps in a sleep sack or with a light-weight receiving blanket (which he promplty kicks off!).

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? It's hanging on the back of the rocker. I probably won't give it to her till we convert her to toddler or full-sized bed.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? We haven't yet. Don't know when we will.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? She sleeps in the crib still. She is 13.5 months.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) She sleeps with a plush baby blanket (the super soft ones with the satin edging that we got like 20 of as gifts). I put it on her when I put her down, but she usually ends up snuggling up to it or sleeping on top of it instead. No pillow yet - she uses every inch of that crib at night and so I think it would be pointless right now.

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? stuffed away in the closet as well. i might get that sucker out and use it. It's really cute.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? I'm waiting as long as possible.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? crib. I say leave him in the crib as long as possible. I don't understand the rush unless they can climb out of the crib.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) no pillow, although I think he'd like one. I think you're supposed to wait until 2 to give them a pillow. He sleeps with a real blanket. It's bigger than a receiving blanket, but it's still a small baby size blanket.

Thanks in advance peeps!

1) Didn't buy a crib bedding set. Just a sheet.

2) Haven't yet. No idea when we're going to switch her. Probably not until she starts to climb out or we need the crib again.

3) In a crib. She's 21 months.

4) No pillow, though we did try offering one. She has two blankets that are more crib sized than full blanket size, but not as small as a receiving blanket. She usually kicks them off.

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? sitting on the back of the rocking chair

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? don't have a convert bed.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? in crib at the moment. Has big boy bedroom (toddler bed) almost all ready and we're going to make the switch before #2 comes

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) small, travel pillow. But not sure he really uses it all that much. And he sleeps with a small blanket, not sure it's a 'receving' it's thick. I thought receiving blankets were more like ones you swaddle with. It's not that. I made him a fleece one for his toddler bed, it's big. Like big enough for me.

Thanks in advance peeps!

1.

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? We don't use that. I don't even know if we have it anymore.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? Haven't yet.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? He's in a crib and he's almost 20 months. He's tall but he's never tried to climb out and I don't think he could if he did try. He's having surgery at the end of February so we'll keep him in the crib at least til he's recovered enough to adust to the bed change.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) No pillow and he starts out without a blanket but when I check him before we go to bed, if he needs one, I'll throw a light blanket over him (not a receiving blanket). It's always kicked off by morning though.

topbirdsix · January 2012

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? Our set did not include a blanket.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? Whenever it feels right. Was just discussing it with DC as they think she'll be moving into a cot soon.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? 15 months. Splits her time between her crib and my bed.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) She has multiple animal pillows and blankets. She typically has 1 pillow, 1 blanket plus her monkey in the crib. In my bed, her use of (my) pillow depends on whether she's sleeping or cuddling-sleeping. If the latter, she takes over my pillow. That said, this morning I woke up and her dog was in the bed with us too. Not sure how that happened.

MeenaJo · January 2012

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? It's put away. I'll probably bring it out when we switch to a toddler bed.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? I don't know when we'll convert.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? He's still in the crib at 14 months.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) We just gave him a flat pillow recently and he loves it. He also has a very thin sheet-like blanket he cuddles with. We cover him up with a regular blanket.

mavs_girl07 · January 2012

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? It's draped over the back of the recliner in his room, because I think it's cute. Never used it as anything more than that though.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? Not anytime soon

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? Keep him in the crib as long as possible!! It's so much easier when they're less impulsive and can understand and reason better.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) No pillow. He has a blanket that he cuddles with, but doesn't stay under it.

Kitiara5512 · January 2012

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? We did not get a crib bedding set, just bought fitted sheets individually and then breathable bumpers to match his room. However, C has slept with a blankie since he moved to his crib, simply because by that time he was rolling around in bed anyway.

2- When are/did you convert crib to toddler bed? We haven't yet but we did drop it down to the lowest level after C somehow managed to climb out. We will be discussing that at 18 months.

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? C is still in the crib at almost 16 months.

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) C gets a blankie that he uses to snuggle with, and no pillow. He is not particular about the blankie as long as it is a thicker one and not a receiving blanket.

Angela814 · January 2012

3- Does your baby sleep in crib or toddler bed, how old is he/she? Crib - 18 months

4- Does your baby sleep with a pillow & real blanket (meaning not a small receiving blanket) She has 2 small pillow pets, but she prefers to sleep with her head next to the pillow, not on it. She does have a blanket, but it's somewhere between a receiving blanket and a regular blanket.

1- The blanket thing that came with the crib bedding- what did you do with it? Did you use it as a blanket? Just pulled it out of the closet in the last week. It's in rotation now as one of the blankets for in the crib now that it's colder.
