DD2 has had a blankie since around 6 months. She really can't live without it! She sleeps with it, if she's cranky she'll cuddle it. It goes everywhere she goes, and it's very cute too.
I am another one that agrees go with the blankie, comfort items are such life savers. I love the fact they have something of comfort when I am not around, especially the days I am at work and they are with nanna or at daycare.
DP says DD will be taking her blankie to her 21st!
It's all a bit hazy now but I'm not even sure I knew they were a SIDS risk. But we started off wrapping her in a fluffy blanky (not sure if we were still doing that at six months) because she always got so excited when I got the fluffy one out as opposed to a normal one.
Thank you for your replys. You see we were swaddling her all the way until 6 months because she just loved it. Yet, she recently learned how to roll both ways and now swaddling is quite impossible. The blanket we swaddled her with was a handmade baby quilt (size of her) my mother made for her. She has had it since birth. So now we just lay it over her and she puts a corner of it and her fingers in her mouth and turns on her side. I have never found it over her head, and I have found that I can breathe through it.
