Blankets? Sound machine? When to give it up!

Question

Hey. I’m curious about blankets and pillows in the crib. When do you start using a blanket and pillow. At this point she tosses and turns so much she’d never keep it on but curious to know for the future. 
Also she still sleeps with a white noice machine. When do you stop using it?
Thanks!

Answer

I still sleep with a sound machine now lol, no blankets until 2

Answer

Sleep sack and sound machine for us. Our routine works why change it. I have heard of parents introducing a pillow usually at the point that the child gets a cold or an ear infection around 18 months-2 years.

Answer

Sound machine never has to be stopped, but if you don't like using it then you could test it and see how your little one does without. I actually plan on buying one for my own room sometime because my husband loves the sound of a fan or any white noise for sleep. I'll probably only stop the white noise if my kids ask for it. Convenient way to muffle sounds for them, so I don't have to worry about outside or my own noises disturbing naps and bedtime.
Switched my May baby to a toddler bed and gave him his toddler pillow a couple of days ago. He loves his bed. Climbs up and down safely by himself; though he had practice before the switch because he shares a room with his 3 year old brother who has a toddler bed as well, and they've climbed up and down together.

^Second pillow is his brother's. They celebrated the new bed together by pretending to sleep and wake up 😆

Answer

My first got a pillow around 18 months because he was using his stuffed animals as pillows so I got him a real one. I gave my first a blanket around 2 years old but he only very recently started using it (he’s 3.5). I still use a sound machine for sleep at 33 so I’ll only get rid of the kids’ if they ask to turn it off.

Answer

We use a blanket for him now but no pillow. He doesn’t sleep under it but he does snuggle with it. We dont plan on getting rid of the sound machines; we live in an apartment and our upstairs neighbors are noisy so it helps drown them out.

Answer

My oldest son still sleep with w sound machine and he's almost 5. We gave him a blanket when we converted his crib to a toddler bed. He got a pillow when he was 2 years old and in a twin bed.

Answer

No white noise
Sleeps without a pillow but has stuff toys. But when he was small I have him a mustard seed pillow for his head to take a round shape . Once the head took its shape I removed the pillow . 
Uses Blankets at times but in his sleeps will  kick the blanket away .

Me daughter sleeps with a blanket, just to cuddle it. She wears a sleep sack to keep warm. My 3 y/o still sleeps with white noise🤷🏾‍♀️

Answer

My boys use a small blanket now, and we don’t have plans on getting rid of their sound machine. Like a previous poster said, my husband and I still sleep with white noise, so we won’t turn it off unless they decide they want it off.
