    Yes.  My daughter is 1 year old.  She cannot sleep without a blanket.  She sleeps 11-12 hours at night.

    My little guy loves blankets. he is almost 7 months old. I have gone back to swaddling him, and I will put a light blanket on him.

    Yes.  I feel guilty about it, but swaddling wasn't working anymore, she'd bust out of a 3 layer swaddle and wake up because she was cold.  Started doing it a week ago.  So much better. (5 months)  I tuck it into the foot of the crib so she can't kick it on her face.

    Here is mine:

    Age: almost 15 months
    Blanket: Yes since he got out of the swaddle at 4 months. But now he actually sleeps on top of the blanket! When it's cold, I have to put him in a sleeping bag and then put the blanket on him. Somehow he would end up on the of blanket anyways.

    No.  I have been using a sleep sack since she is a newborn.  Keeps her warm and no worries about SIDS or suffication.

    Age 8 months.

    No.  I was using a sleeping sack until about a few days ago when he started pulling himself up to standing in the crib (I thought he might get tripped up in the sack). For the last few nights he's gone to bed just in his sleeper & has slept through.

    I used sleep sacks until my little guy was almost three they are awesome since they can't be kicked off and can't go over there heads you can purchase them at safety superstor on duffering or at dearborn they are awesome.

He now sleeps in the sleeping bag and cuddles the blanket. He moves a lot during the night and sometimes the blanket is off, but he still likes having it around him.

    The blanket signifies sleepy time for him. He does not sleep well without it.

    Dont suppose u would be willing to make a cotton blanket for my guy??? ive been looking for a nice cotton blanket for him but THey are all either too small (for newborns) or made out of polyester etc...I would pay you for it ofcourse...let me know if you re willing and how much u would charge

    Hi Darmeen,
    I would be very interested in getting a nice cotton blanket for Katelyn for the crib and maybe one for her toddler bed (thinking of switching her soon) I would be interested in buying it from you or even meeting up and learning how to make one.  I've always wanted to learn how to sew.

    Thanks
    Claire
