When Can My Baby Sleep With a Blanket?

As a parent, you have probably been asked this question by many friends or family members. When can my baby sleep with a blanket? When should babies stop using blankets? When should they start using them? Babies are born at the perfect temperature for them and their body needs to adjust to the new world around them. The first few days of life outside of their mother’s womb, babies’ bodies must adapt from being inside an incubator in a room that is approximately 98 degrees Fahrenheit to one that is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Is it safe for baby to sleep with blanket?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies should not sleep with blankets until they are at least a year old. When the baby is born, he or she will have been in an incubator that has regulated temperature and it takes time for his body to adjust. When you cover your infant’s head area with blanket, there is less airflow around their head area. When babies don’t have enough airflow in their head region, they may not be able to regulate the temperature of their body because it won’t let heat escape through their head and neck.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises that baby sleep on a firm, tight-fitting mattress with no soft bedding or toys. When they’re old enough to roll over into unsafe positions, the AAP recommends using a thin layer such as an infant sleeping bag specifically designed for babies to move freely in and out but stay baby warm at night.

AAP says that until babies are capable of moving on their own, they should be dressed in light clothing with no outerwear covering them up to minimize the risk for accidental suffocation or strangulation from loose bedding. When a baby is able to roll over and responds when parents call its name, it’s time to transition away from a blanket. When the baby can’t be awakened easily when picked up and will not roll over, it’s time to move from a sleep sack to pajamas with sleeves that close past the elbow or feet.

How do I keep my baby’s blanket on at night?
