Blankie or no blankie

From a safety point of view, a blanket should only be used if cellular and tucked in and under babies arms. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it and wouldn’t be able to sleep thinking about.
Could you allow him the blankie while he settles initially (because you’re awake and watching) and then remove it.
Or perhaps find a small comforter that has a silky tab the same?

That’s what I was thinking too, like a small version of blankie.

What about a sleep sack? One where his arms would be free..I’m currently transitioning from the swaddle to a sleep sack since my son has started to roll over. A lot of mommas have recommended the Zipadee Zip one. Today is our first day so we shall see what happens. They’re expensive but they’re also ones similar.

My baby sleeps with one, she can’t otherwise. She likes to grab it and bring it close to her so she’s not even covered with it to where I’d have to worry about her covering her face with it. But even then, it’s just one of those light muslin blankets so she’d be able to breathe IF something were to happen.

My baby sleeps with one. He really honestly can’t sleep with out it. But his crib is right next to mine and it’s a crocheted one his GG made and has huge gaps in the stitches

I just looked up the one he likes and it’s polyester with silky/satin trimmings. My baby also uses the owlet sock, if that makes a difference.

Maybe cut the silky tab out and give to him? If needed you can leave a little fabric on when you cut.

even if it’s small, I wouldn’t leave it with a 3 week old overnight unsupervised. There’s stuff a suffocation risk of or were to go over babies face.

@ everybody! He’s already 6 months old and I have found the solution, thanks to everybodies help! I bought a small Muslim blanket with satin trimmings. So he can breathe through it (in case he puts it on his face) and soothe himself as well with the satin. Yay!! thank you all!
