What's In The Crib?

[aydee]

Now that we've made is past that year mark that we aren't supposed to have anything in the crib, what's in there with your LO?

When are you planning to introduce blankets/pillows if you haven't thus far? I can't remember the recommendations!

[aydee]

Abigail currently has a Taggies blanket (which she crams in her mouth and sucks on while she sleeps), a small stuffed animal lovey blanket with a bunny head that she pretty much ignores, and a light Janie and Jack crib blanket that I often cover her with.

I'm considering giving her a fleece baby blanket for the winter but can't decide yet whether it's okay to do that.

She hasn't shown any signs that she's ready for a pillow.

Blankets and her lovey. She seems like she wants a pillow since almost every night she's using a blanket as one. She pushes it to the corner so it's bunched up and then lays on it

[ampaints]

A&A blanket that will get switched to a heavier blanket when it gets cold, a lovie, his glow worm, and a billion pacifiers.

He sleeps in bed with us at night still. We started back when he was in full seperation anxiety shitstorm mode. When he sleeps in his crib/pnp he has a blanket, a teddy or 3, and like ampaints a billion pacis.

I have his favorite minky blanket, a musical bear, lovey, and about 4 pacifiers. If I check on him during the night and his sleeping on his blanket, I may toss another blanket on him.

Nothing but him, his mattress, and crib sheet. I didn't introduce a blanket or pillow to dd until she was out of the crib & in a big girl bed. Probably will end up doing the same for ds.

A big minky blanket and a pacifier. I tried giving him a pillow, because he scrunches up his blanket to lay on, but he wouldn't use it, so I took it back out.

blanket, 2 elephant loveies that he sucks on and him.

[flippinchica]

I just put an a&a blanket in there the other day and a little plush toy but he pretty much ignores both.

[abvintage]

I'm waiting on all of it. I read somewhere to wait until 18 months and some people go all the way to 3 years. I'm just really paranoid about it, so for now just footie pajamas.

She has a taggie she is super attached to (it goes everywhere with her) and an owl stuffed animal. She randomly reached for the stuffed animal and now won't sleep without it.

[tuscanlatte]

She's got a fleece blanket and a teddy bear (it says "love you Lils" with ds' voice). A sippy usually too

[joi922]

A blanket and some stuffed animals. She's resourceful though. I walked in a couple weeks ago and she had not only pulled down a few extra stuffed animals we had on her upper crime rail, but also two blankets we had left on a chair next to her crib. She doesn't use any blankets as blankets, though. She uses them more as pillows.

[elvenqueen]

One light blanket, one stuffed animal, and a lovey each. Going to introduce a heavier blanket and possibly a pillow around 17/18 months, once it's cold enough to merit it.

ETA: The stuffed animals are new as of a few weeks ago. I love them because I can say "where's Moose/Monkey?" and they grab the animal, hug it and lie down with it. It's like dropping a heavy hint that it's time to go to sleep.

A taggy blanket I made him that's a Sq ft. He cuddles it to his face and grabs for it when he wake motn. I figure as long as he's comfy without the pillow and cover I will leave him be.

[shellyr]

Not my baby unfortunately. Like csb314, she'sstill sleeping in my bed. I still try the crib sometimes but she wakes up almost immediately. Right now a crap ton of my laundry is in the crib. This was never my plan.

[Laverne]

He spends a few hours in our bed also. There is nothing in his crib, he has always tossed the binkys. I have tried to cover him with muslin but he just kicks it off or rolls out of it. He sleeps in fleece footie pjs or cotton pjs with fleece sleep sac.

We recently introduced a pillow. I was such a nervous wreck the first night, I was up all night checking the monitor to be sure she wasn't smooshing her face in it. I'm weird. Also, she mostly lays next to the pillow and hugs it.
