Blankets vs sleeping bag

[BekZ]

I have never used fancy quilt sets and I love sleeping bags. When your bub is newborn it will probably like to be swaddled so I would get some good wraps to start. I usually put my bub in sleeping bags from 3 months.

Only problem with using sleeping bags is both my bubs got used to having them and hated it when I put blankets on them. But on the flip side they are safer and you don't have to worry about blankets creeping up over their heads.

Thanks girls - I thought SIDS foundation is against quilts as well.

Belle - my GF has a 2yr old and another due in 2 weeks She won't hear my SIDS argument.

We bought a nice quilt set as bubs will be in a bassinette in our room to start with, and I wanted the cot to look pretty!!!!!! But we are going to be using wraps and sleeping bags for bubs to sleep in because of the sids risk with the cot quilts...... Kinda like the soft toys I have in the cot, wont be in there when bubs is sleeping in there, but looks soooo pretty!!!!!

You will probably want some wraps or light blankets to use as wraps at first. My son went into sleeping bags at I think 2 weeks but before that we just wrapped him in blankets. He kicked everything off. Now that it's warmer I've taken him out of the sleeping bags & just throw a blanket on him so he can toss it off if he gets too warm, but when the colder weather comes the sleeping bags will come back out.
