Since DD was born. We just swaddled her with her arms out so she couldn’t pull it up over her face.

Since the day both my kids were born.

That’s old enough for sure, I always just tried to keep things away from their face still tho. Maybe one small stuffed animal or something
Mines 15 months and ive tried to give her a blanket and it gets balled up on the other side of her bed. So she dosnt want it i guess. Ill wait. I only swaddled her for a couple months.
Sense birth. My son didnt like blankets until he was a few months old but my daughter is just fine with them.
Since he could roll/sit up on his own 
I had the PJs with feet for mine.
About 1 month old but it was really thin and small. I just kept him in long sleeve, footed jammies to sleep.

Hmmn about 6-7 months
It is incredibly dangerous to put a blanket in a crib with a child under the age of one. They can get tangled and accidentally suffocate themselves. If your baby is under a year old, check into wearable blankets instead. If they are over one, consider thicker pajamas and a light weight blanket.

My first daughter used hers since day one but my second is 6 months and I don’t let her sleep with one since she loves to cover her face with it. Really just matters on your kid and when you feel comfortable with it
I personally don’t think it’s safe for a while. Probably till 18 months or 2. I just use a sleepsack and my little one loves it. Sometimes she won’t sleep without it

Day ONE with four healthy children that now are ranging from 8-2 years old, about to be five children in June. I could never lay in a bed without a blanket and sleep comfortably; I won’t expect my baby to either.

Once she was a year old and I knew if she had issues she could move it off of her. No reason to risk suffocation. It’s recommended to wait until they’re a year anyway

I always bed shared and covered us both up to the hips with a light blanket. Never had any issues with either kids but I’m a very light sleeper. I don’t do pillows though, maybe about 18 months for pillows.
Alone both were about a year. But my youngest freaked everyone out because he loves covering his head/face (definitely my kid!) So I had a lose knitted blanket made, did the trick! He could still breathe, cover his head and stopped freaking everyone out!
Some of these questions…wow people

I used crochet blankets only, because they have holes in them.

Youngest is almost 2 and still doesn’t use one. The risk of SIDS is too high for me to take that chance when they can just wear warm jammies.

My son has been using a blanket ever since he could easily roll ovee
Always. When they were real little I would make sure it was a light cover and the house was a good enough temperature. When they got old enough to roll over or turn their heads around then I used a regular baby blanket.

Receiving blankets right away but bigger blankets, which is what i think you mean, once he could roll over on his own
Since day one honestly. Done it with both of my children! A real thin cotton blanket.

My daughter only uses a blanket when it’s cool in her room but I started at 3 mths
No sheets a lovely set I recieved got wrapped around my son when he started to wiggle and nearly choked him since then only comforters(stiffer).
Funny neather of my sons use oversheets to this day!
Baby uses a blanket for naps when I’m supervising, if not or for nighttime she uses a zippered sleep sack instead.

Since day one even the hospital had a blanket on him
Birth. I always used them for swaddling, then in the real cold winter here I’d drape it over their laps in the crib. Never had a problem. But I know, its supposed to be a no no smh
We swaddled at infancy, but at about 4-5 months when they started rolling around, we,stopped. We started at about 2 years old again for blankets and 3 years old with pillows. We just did footy pajamas until then when it was cold.
my baby sleeps longer when she is sweating…started at a week or two
I’ve always used them from the beginning. It’s up to you when you want to use them.
Since they were born.
I allowed a blanket when baby was able to roll and crawl. Then they’re pretty self sufficient. Until then, never.
Mine is 3m old (4 on the 9th) and she has a blanket. Has had one since day one. Gasp i know. Only way my baby will sleep. Only way i sleep. (3rd child also)
