RNP + Blanket?

Cbowl · January 2014

For those with LOs sleeping in the RnP at night, what do you use to keep them warm?

I had been tucking a thin muslin Aden and Anais blanket tightly around and under my LO bc she hates being swaddled but I wanted to keep her arms tucked in so she didn't wake herself up. Yet I'm now feeling worried about having a blanket in there with her.

Any thoughts?

Sleep sack

Swaddle him and put a blanket on top. Or just a blanket with his arms on top. He's not a mover when he sleeps, so the blanket doesn't creep up.

I have been putting DD in an Aden + Anais sleep sack, then tucking a blanket around the lower half of her body for extra warmth (nowhere near her face).

I tuck a blanket mostly around her feet only if she isn't in a fleece sleeper.

Agreed with pp. mostly around the feet and away from his face.

I swaddle him and then lay another blanket on too of him.

Citrusxoxo I think I accidentally flagged you. This happens to me a lot, sorry! Mobile and I don't know how to unflag, doh!

For those that don't swaddle, do you have any problems with LO flailing arms around and waking him or herself up? I don't know what to do about that.

I don't swaddle usually because she wakes herself trying to break free. I do use a sleep sack regardless though. Sometimes just wrap it with her arms out or really lightly with her arms in so she doesn't fight it but still stays warm.

Lol! No problem

Halo sleep sack at night, blanket tucked in for daytime naps.

Sleep sack and no buckle. LO isn't going anywhere just yet. It took DS1 about 4-5 months to be strong enough that I thought his movements could make him fall out.

I don't buckle either

No buckle here either, but no blankets at night unless the swaddle me counts. I put one on her during the day and just watch her. It does often wind up on or near her face.

LO is in a Halo Swaddler and then I tuck a folded receiving blanket around her bottom half. No buckle here either. She's pretty cozy in there and isn't strong enough to do much.

I don't buckle but I'm a questionable mom
Another questionable mom here...

Ha, same here. They can barely move at this point so it's fine without the buckle IMO.

We either swaddle DD or we put her in a cocoon. During the day if I don't put her in a cocoon or swaddle her I'll tuck a blanket over her from the belly down.

Never used the buckle ha. We lay a thick burp cloth under him in there and totally forgot the thing even had a buckle...not like he's going anywhere right now
