29. When Can My Baby Sleep With A Blanket?
Update: 2023-04-11
Description
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that your baby should not sleep with a blanket until 12 months of age. This is part of the Safe Sleep campaign to prevent the incidents of SIDS, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This campaign also discourages the use of bumper pads in the crib and the use of pillows until age 2.
Even just using a blanket on the lower half of her body is not safe as she could kick the blanket onto her face. The risks of having a blanket in the crib with a young baby are suffocation and strangulation.
