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.
