How old is/was DC when you started using a blanket at bedtime??
DS is 7 months and now that the evenings are getting chilly I want to start using a blanket...he used a sleep sack for awhile, but I was wondering if its too soon to switch...TIA

DD is 15 months and still hasn't used a blanket (aside from being swaddled as an infant). We use the Halo Sleepsacks.
It's all about what YOU are comfortable with as a parent, so go with what seems right for you

At first DS was swaddled in a rec blanket (which he ALWAYS broke out of)
Around 6 or 7 months, with the CAC on I would drape a rec blanket over him at night.
Now he goes to bed without one but I put a heavier one on him before I go to bed.

Re: How old is/was DC when you started using a blanket at bedtime??
We did the sleepsack with the feet openings last winter. DD was 12-18 months then. Now DD is 2 and we can still use the sack with the feet but I put a blanket on her recently and now she asks for one for every nap & night sleep.

Re: How old is/was DC when you started using a blanket at bedtime??
I asked his doctor about this at the last appt., and she recommended skipping blankets this winter. He's also a restless sleeper, so I think he would kick the blankets off and get cold.
I just wasn't comfortable using a blanket, so we use the sleepsack (with foot holes so he can stand), or a pair of fleece pjs with a pair of thinner pjs underneath.
My son is 10 months.

Re: How old is/was DC when you started using a blanket at bedtime??
DD is 22 months and still in a sleepsack. She is a restless sleeper and I feel she would either get tangled in it or kick it off. She likes the sack so I never bothered with a blanket. I'm thinking when I put her in a toddler bed and can tuck the blanket in, that's when I'll use it.
She does use a blanket at daycare though, always has since she was a baby.

Re: How old is/was DC when you started using a blanket at bedtime??
Similar thing here...21 mo DS uses blanket for naps at daycare but hates them at night. But he's starting to want to lie down with a pillow and blanket so maybe when he transitions he won't be so opposed to it.

Re: How old is/was DC when you started using a blanket at bedtime??
At about 10 months, we gave him one for daycare because he would be the only kid without one. It's usually left folded in the same way I left it. He often falls asleep on the teacher's lap or in a swing. At home, he gets really warm PJs and he rolls around the crib so much.

DS is 3.5 months old and he will not be using a blanket for a long time.
using a blanket can put a baby at risk for SIDS and i am not taking that chance. he wears sleep n plays and sleep sacks to bed to keep him nice and warm

Umm...About a week ago  DD is 22 months and just started asking for a blanket. So I guess my rule is when they are old enough to ask for one.
