Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

About had a heart attack tonight!

So DS just turned 18 months old and we've been giving him 2 Aden and anais swaddle blankets at night. Well tonight I looked at the video monitor and thought the blanket was on his neck. I went up to check on him and sure enough a blanket was wrapped around the back of his neck pretty tight. I took it off and the other one right away. I freaked out hoping he was ok and breathing,my heart stopped, but he is fine! But now I'm scared to give him the blankets. Has anyone else gone through this or have any advice? The only thing in his crib now is a Aden and anais small lovey. I'm so glad I went to check, mom instinct I guess!

Re: About had a heart attack tonight!

  • My LO has lots of things in her crib now. A blanket was the first thing. I am actually using a twin size comforter tucked under the mattress so it doesn't come up. She does fine with it. She has a pillow now and seems to like it quite a bit. She sleeps on it for a long stretch, but usually part way through the night she will sit up and turn around so her feet are by it. She also has her teddy bear who is always cuddled up in her arms.  She is 15 months. We have a video monitor as well and I've never seen a problem come up on there with any of her things. Her toughest problem is getting her leg stuck through the slats of the crib.

  • Oh how scary! Glad everything turned out ok. DS has "lovies" they are just those white cloth diapers, we used them as spit rags when he was little and spit up a TON, so DS kind of adopted them as his lovie. There are 2 in his crib and he has a stuffed lion he loves and a puppy lovie, but they are all lovie's on the small side. DS moves around way to much to have a blanket right now. I think he will get one once we move him to a bed, but I guess that also depends how long I can keep him in his crib :P
