Blanket for 18 month old?
I'm always afraid of Marron being cold at night, and during the winter, her room is pretty cold. Last year, I always put her in an undershirt blanket sleepers to go to bed. I've been doing that so far this year on the chilly nights, but I'm wondering if I can put a blanket, like the comforter that came with her bedding set on her. I presently use a small square velour baby blanket, but I'm wondering if I can use a bigger/warmer blanket so I don't have to worry so much about her being cold. Also, there aren't that many fleece pajamas out this year.

Re: Blanket for 18 month old?
I am still afraid to let DD sleep with a blanket (she is just about 17 mths) - I bought the halo sleepsacks for her again this year. what about using one of those over her PJ's?

Re: Blanket for 18 month old?
Are the sleepsacks a fleece/blanket material? We didn't use them last year, so I'm not really that familiar with them. Also, can she still stand up while in it?

The sleepsacks come in 2 different materials - one is a light weight cotton, the other is a heavy fleece one (this is what we use) - - DD can definately stand up in her crib with it on. Her feet are inside of it (its like a potato sack) but its big enough that she has plenty of room to move around in it. It works really well for her - she is just about the same age as DD. BRU carries the bigger sizes....

Thanks. I think I'll go get one and give it a try!

I was going to post about the sleepsacks today. They make them with foot openings for toddlers (2T and up). I use this for my 12 month old. I just contacted the company though and asked them if they have them with foot openings in smaller sizes. They said they are coming out with them soon!! While the 2T/3T is large for my DD, she can still stand in it and it's been working out fine. They sell them at Target.

Re: Blanket for 18 month old?
My DD is now using the blanket that came with her bedding. Both my kids have used blankets from day 1. I do go in and cover her several times a night, because she moves all over and doens't really stay covered. But even if she cuddles with it, its a source of warmth.

Re: Blanket for 18 month old?
I used a knitted blanket at first - that way if they got tangled - they could still breathe.
For the baby, I tuck it under the crib mattress

I bought the halo sack too. My DD loves it and I dont' have to worry about it going over her head.
