Can you use blankets to keep babies warm?

1

so i have a question, is it true that you can’t put blankets in a babies bed to help keep warm ?

I mean ofcourse you can.
It just goes against safe sleep recommendations.

Yes but just watch out for overheating. Babies cannot regulate their own body temperatures until 9-12 months.

It depends on age. If they are under a year I absolutely would not. They may accidentally pull it over their heads and possibly suffocat3 since they can’t pull it back down.

You should never put blankets, toys, etc in a baby’s bed if they are under 1. I know more than one baby that has suffocated and died that way.
A sleep sack and a sleeper is plenty to keep baby warm.

You know what , i have 4 kids , and every one i wrapped in blankets to sleep , all of them are grown , they survived, sure suffication happens , but i have also seen sids with no blankets. , if you checking on baby on regular basis use a dam blanket . it as ridiculous as not putting baby on belly to sleep. If watched closely theyvwill be fine .

I swaddled until they are able to roll and then sleep sacks, and he’s always warm when I unzip him in the morning.
