Blankie or No Blankie

I am taking a poll. My daughter is 6 months old and I want her to sleep with a blankie because she loves the one my mother made for her. Yet, they say there is still a little risk of sids after 6 months old.

So.. blankie or no blankie

If it was me I would go with no blanket. IMO it's just not worth the risk.

i say blankie!! DD2 has one and TBH when shes unsettled/crying in the car etc.. its a life saver, she loves her's,

Well DS has only just started getting really cosy with a blankie, which is just a simple cotton muslin wrap he had near him one day. I watched him grab it and put himself to sleep with it, so we've just kept it. Its really comforting for him, and its a definite sleepy time cue. Which is always helpful!!!!!!!!

I say blankie too!

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.

Yes, Blankie, Blankie, Blankie !!

Blankie is a lifesaver !

xo

I say blankie too!! As others said its a lifesaver.

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.
