Blanket Crib
Posted on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 4:23 am
How old should baby be before taking stuffed animal or blanket to sleep in crib?
My son is 7 months old, and has recently started to become attached to a “lovey” — one of those toys that has an animal head and a blanket body — he almost can’t fall asleep unless he has half of it crammed in his mouth and is chewing on it while he dozes off. Is it safe to allow him to take it into his crib with him, or do I need to take it away after he falls asleep? He can roll over, lift his head easily, and is always getting himself unswaddled and chewing on the blanket anyway.
our son is the same way. We gave up on taking it from him around 7 months b/c within a matter of a couple of minutes of taking it away he would wake up screaming and then there was no sleep for anybody for the rest of the night…we have 2 of those things right now (I need to find 1 or 2 more just so I have back ups)…but we just gave up and let him hold on to it when we would put him down (he’s always holding it with either his left hand or both hands with his left thumb in his mouth. A few weeks ago he stirred during the night and when I went to check on him his legs were cool (he was really warm when i put him down) so I just grabbed one of his blankets and laid over him and he settled right back down. The next morning he was on one end of his playpen with his little blankie and the big blanket was in the corner at the other end of the playpen.
