Baby Blanket Safety Guide

A personalized baby blanket makes a beautiful keepsake, and it's worth knowing how it fits into a safe sleep routine.

What the American Academy of Pediatrics Recommends

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping loose blankets out of the crib or bassinet for unsupervised sleep until a baby's first birthday, to reduce the risk of suffocation. This applies to any loose blanket, not just ours.

Lovely Ways to Use It Before Then

Before your baby's first birthday, this blanket is a wonderful choice for supervised moments: tummy time, stroller outings, being held for a nap, or photos.

After the First Birthday

Once your baby turns one, many families start using a lightweight blanket like this one in the crib. Always follow your own pediatrician's guidance, since every child's development is different.
