Blankets

We don't do blankets over night. Just during nap time. Sometimes he still wraps it around his head and gets stuck. It's knit so he can still breathe but we have to go get him untangled sometimes.
My baby also 20 months since she was a little baby she always has a little smaller size blanket and now still has an infant blanket I just wrap her legs and tuck under her waist. Also she’s a side sleeper. Also I use blankets thin and rolled up blankets like a wedge instead of a pillow. Still makes her feel like she’s still being cuddled without worried about her sleeping. No matter what I’d still check up on her throughout the night.
We do blanket and pillow. He was sick and had congestion around 16/17 months, and had ok and off colds for the next month and a half, and the pillow elevated him enough to help him sleep more easily. Its a very thin toddler pillow. Blanket we started with nap time and then transitioned to overnight. Hes not a big fan of having blankets on him so no issue with him pulling it over his face. I've babysat for families that still had their 3 year old ones sleep sack though 🤷♀️ no reason to rush kt
We have a blanket and small pillow. He uses the pillow to cuddle with and the blanket rarely ever actually covers him. He uses it more for comfort and self soothing. He wears a sleep sack so the blanket isn't really for warmth.
We use a blanket. He used a pillow when we were in a hotel and he slept in a pack n play.
My boy sleeps with both
I gave my daughter a blanket around 18 mo. She used to sleep in a sleep sack. One day I just said nah and she’s been doing well. As for a pillow she likes using her squishmellow.
Yes my daughter sleeps in a whole twin bed with a comforter and pillow
We cosleep so we share a blanket but he doesn’t sleep on a pillow yet. He honestly doesn’t move that crazy for me to be worried about him being entangled in a blanket
I’m curious for those who have kids in sleep sacks.. do they not get out of bed and fall when they walk ? My daughter gets up for water and sometimes goes and gets books and comes into our room so I would assume she wouldn’t be able to walk with a sleep sack
My daughter always kicks blankets off of her so we never put anything in her crib. Sometimes she’ll lay on my pillow if she sleeps in bed with me.
My daughter sleeps in a sleep sack. She can actually walk in two of them, but I don't want her to fall so I am going to look for new ones with feet.
My boy co sleeps so yeah he as blanket not that he as it on a fight for me to have ot on lol. But he also sometime sleeps in his anxiety thing which sometimes helps him sleep better x
@Fiona our sleep sack has feet but our little boy is in a crib still so he can't go too far.

My son doesn’t have a pillow nor a blanket nor a sleep bag. He sleeps with his plush toy. I’m not confident to give him a pillow and a blanket, yet. He is fine without them.
Mine loves his pillow. It’s super flat tbh. He hates blankets though so we put him in footie pjs most of the time now.
hmm, I think a lot of parents wait until around 2 years for blankets and pillows, but if she's comfy with the sleep sack and lovey, maybe just stick with that for now? this is what the 'Heal App' mentioned… hope it helps! "At 20 months, it's great that your baby is comfortable with a sleep sack and lovey! Generally, it's recommended to introduce a lightweight blanket and a small pillow around the age of 2, as this is when children can better manage their sleep environment and reduce the risk of suffocation. Until then, continuing with the sleep sack is a safe option. When you do decide to introduce a blanket, ensure it's lightweight and breathable, and monitor how she adjusts to it. How does she typically sleep-does she seem to get cold at night, or is she comfortable with her current setup?"
We just switched to a blanket and offer a pillow (which she doesn’t really use). We were encountering some resistance with the sleep sack and also needed to revamp the bedtime routine so it was a good time to make the switch. It’s really up to the kid. If she’s fine with the sleep sack, she’s good until it doesn’t fit 🤷♀️
blanket no pillow yet
We give him a blanket but no pillow yet. I have found playing the game of throwing the blanket over his face and having him take it off as good practice in case anything happens
