[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you give her a blanket? The SIDS risk is only for infants under age 1. And for all the people who will say their kid won't stay under the blanket, I don't want to hear it. My 9 month old uses a light blanket just fine. If they get cold, they figure it out. Or tuck a heavy quilt in for her. I just can't believe all these sleepsack conundrums posted daily. Or the toddler pillow nonsense! Just give her a blanket already, for the love of God. [/quote]

A lot of kids don't keep blankets on, that's probably why. I usually find my three year old's blanket bunched up next to her when I check on her before I go to bed. [/quote]

I said I didn't want to hear it...

If they pull the blanket off, then they can't be that cold. If they yell for you to cover them up, then really tuck a blanket under the edges of the mattress for them, or show them how to wriggle back under by themselves. I promise, even babies can do this if they are motivated to stay warm. Mostly, the blanket problem is in the same category as "I need a cup of water." A ploy to get you to give a little attention post bedtime. Respond if you want, but toddlers are capable of staying covered if they are really cold.[/quote]

Tell us more, oh wise one. Your nine months of experience are incredibly helpful on this thread about toddlers.[/quote]

Never said my 9 month old was my only child, I only said that he could use a blanket just fine. Hope your close reading skins don't hinder your career.[/quote]

Nine months old is way too young for a blanket.  I don't know how you can sleep soundly with a blanket in your baby's crib.  What other risks are you taking with your children?[/quote]
