[quote=Anonymous]I let my daughter sleep with a blanket at 4 or 5 months.  I never really got the warnings - obviously some things are def dangerous for babies but on the whole - babies are not idiots.  If they can't breath they don't want to be in that situation.  It's kinda like baby gates on top of stair cases.  We brought into that whole safety thing with baby #1.  Came 2nd and 3rd kids whatever - our children learned how to do steps faster because they were never kept from doing it - we had no gates.  They never tumbled down.  They never wanted to so they didn't :)  We also don't baby proof everything in the house (actually we don't have anything baby proofed come to think of it) and our kids, who are definitely not geniuses, never tried to swallow cascade for example :)  They just aren't going to take a knife and try to stab themselves - I mean - people really need to give some credit to little ones.  No they should not be left unsupervised in the kitchen for example but I pretty much guarantee that they aren't going to try to suffocate themselves with a blanket as long as it's not oversized.
