Hi, love your new blog… Here is my question: When do you introduce a blanket (including size, material and style) to your child’s crib?
My son is 18-months old and I have taken every precaution possible for sleep safety including: Putting nothing in the crib, using the best crib and hardest mattress i could find, using a breathable bumper, monitoring the room temperature between 68 – 72 degrees, and having a movement monitor under the mattress…
Heather, thanks so much for your question! We’ll pose it to our nurses as a possible topic for a future blog post.
