When did your kid have a blanket?

[karinothing]

Not until after a year. I guess when he moved to a cot at daycare so around 15 months. DS wore a sleep sack with footed cotten PJs. I don't see a need for a blanket prior to a year (absent use as a lovey). The sleep sack does the trick

ETA: I will add that he used the blanket only for naps for a LONG time. I think closer to 2 years he started to ask for a blanket at bedtime and then at around 26 months or so he started to refuse the sleep sack.

About 11 months.

DD is 14 months, just gave her a blanket and travel pillow within the last month.

Long after a year. Dd2 is almost 9 mos and just now has a small lovie/blankie.

[everafter07]

We put one in the crib with DD when she was about 5months. They're muslin, so not thick, and we kind of put it on her like a toga, with one loose end over her shoulder (just enough that she can suck on it, she never took a paci), and the rest tucked around her in a loose swaddle. She doesn't move much when she sleeps, and she doesn't roll yet at 8 months.

[everafter07]

We put her in a long sleeve onesie and socks under her sleeper on cold nights, as well as a sleep sack over top.

DS is 17 months. He still doesn't have one for overnight sleep, but I'm certainly not opposed to it. We just still use sleep sacks. For naps at home and at daycare, he gets a blanket. We've never put anything under his PJs. When he was tiny and swaddled, we actually often had him sleeping in just a diaper or just a onesie. I didn't want him overheating.

My kid hated swaddles and Sleepsacks. She has slept in just a cotton sleeper since about 6 weeks old. On super cold nights we used fleece sleepers. I just offered a blanket this week and she promptly picked it up and worked to drop it to the floor. I'll try again next month, lol.

L wears cotton sleepers/PJs and a fleece sleepsack in the winter. Once it's warm we will ditch the sleep sack.

Her room is usually 65-67 and she's plenty warm.

No blanket but her hippo lovey is in there. I stick it away from her but she does roll to grab it sometimes.

[ilikedonuts]

20 months. She wore a sleep sack until then. Pjs and a fleece sleep sack in the winter and then a cotton one and either a onesie or pjs in the summer.

Her blanket is an A+A dream blanket.

[scribellesam]

Right around 18 months, I was weirdly nervous about it for some reason. He loved it right away.

[lolo]

DD is just shy of 10m and has had blankets in the crib since...7m or so? She was pulling up and crawling, and is now walking. She sucks on the blanket to soothe herself. We also used a smaller one like a pillow when transitioning her from the swing.

DD sleeps in non flame resistant pjs from GAP.

DD has this www.littlegiraffe.com/shop/baby-blankets/security-blankies/luxe/luxe-dot-blanky/ and I used to only let her have it for naps, starting around 4 months or so?? But as of a couple of weeks ago, I let her sleep with it at night; she's been rolling both ways for a long while, and has been sleeping on her tummy almost a month.

fwiw, the pedi totally gave it the thumbs up at her well-care this past week when I told him. She rubs her face on it, bites it, drapes it over her head, basically it just makes her feel secure, which is the point of a security blankie, right??

Under her sleepsack, she wears the footed jammies from baby gap, mainly the zippered ones, and when it was really cold, she wore a onesie underneath that too. Sometimes socks even. It would get down to like 60 in her room.

DD: around 18 months.

DS: not yet (he just turned one this week)

[DarcyLongfellow]

Sometime between 12 and 18 months.

I let DD2 have a lovey (a pacimal -- like a wubbanub but you can use any paci you want) starting around 8 months.

[countthestars]

Not yet (8 months). We will let her have her little A&A blankie/lovey soon but for now she just sleeps in fleece jambes and a Halo sleep sack. We won't give her a full blanket until closer to a year.

[justjen]

Like, last week. So 18 months.

DS is 2 years old, and still has no blanket. He sleeps in a footed sleeper and a sleep sack. Our pedi said he prefers the crib to be "solitary confinement", no blankets or pillows b/c of the suffocation risk.

[dbsk8dance]

Not til two and he really only started using it properly at 3. As in he usually wound up on top of it.

We use a sleep sack with a sleeper under when it's cold.

[Jalapeñomel]

My kid gets hot, so he doesn't always sleep in a sleep sack. More often than not, it's just a onesie.

No blankets yet, and I'm not sure when we'll feel comfortable with that.

[pugz]

My kid does not understand blankets. So we still do footed jammies and a sleepsack

[matildasun]

We started at a year with A and 7 months with M.

[Jalapeñomel]

Oh but sometimes he does nap in the napper with a blanket.

[dottyblue]

We did a loosely knit blanket starting around 6 or 7 months.   The knit had pretty large gaps in it, so I wasn't worried about suffocation if DS pulled it over his head.

Until then, my MIL knit DS an infant cocoon pod that we used every night (example below from the internets, not my kid).  DS's bedroom is usually pretty cool, so not having some kind of blanket wasn't an option and he HATED sleep sacks.

[olivesyou]

blanket around 13 months. My grandmom knitted him one, I figure its light and the holes are big enough to not cause any suffocation.

He wears cotton footed pjs (or fleece for really cold nights) and fleece sleep sack over it. We put the blanket up to his armpits or mid back if he flips right away. The blanket is never on him in the morning, ha.
