when you can playfully put a blanket over their head (playing peek a boo or where’s babies name) and their reaction is to pull it off and they do it successfully all the time… not just once. I started with the game, then only nap time and slowly worked my way to night time too. I’d also just use one thin blanket and if you’re worried they are cold but warmer Jammies on them.

I’ve let my son sleep with a blanket every night since he was about 4 months. He’s now a year old. Never had an issue. I know they say never ever let them sleep with a blanket and I’ll probably be criticized for it but it’s my kid, my decision

From day one. Judge me all you want. But my boys slept better with blankets and a flat pillow.

My son has been sleeping with a blanket since we brought him home from the hospital. He always kicked out of the swaddle and loved sleeping with his hands above his head. He’s 16 months now and snuggles a blanket and stuffed animal every night.

After about a year, I’d recommend checking the AAP website for the exact information.

I used one for my son anytime I felt it was too cold to go without one. Muslim swaddles are good for using before they learn to roll on their own. Light enough to breathe through even if it were to get near your babies nose and mouth
Swaddled with blankets from birth until they can roll. Sleep sacks until they can crawl. Then back to blankets again.
Just for caution against SIDS, they should sleep with nothing until a year.

I always covered my babies. Don’t know where all this stuff comes from. You don’t like to sleep without a blanket so why shouldn’t they?
