Does anyone have experience w/ switching a baby from a regular blanket to a wearable one? My baby WILL NOT sleep w/o a blanket. I would prefer to use a wearable blanket, but am not sure if she will sleep in it and I really don't want to spend the money if it's not going to be used. Does anyone have experience w/ this?

I know it says on the wearable blankets that it shouldn't be used with other blankets but I still swaddle my 7 months old twins in a cellular blanket and then put them in the wearable blanket..

do you mean your baby likes to hold the blanket? how old are they?
I personally would feel comfortable giving a small muslin blankie to a baby over 4-5 months. definitely NOT anything large or heavyweight though.

I tried a wearable one. didn't go over well.

Now I just do two sleepers instead.

What's a wearable blanket? I thought no blankets at all until 1 yo?

OP here. I know that it's better for babies to sleep in wearable blankets. I just have not been able to get one-not sold in Israel as far as I know. I tried putting her straight in the crib w/ nothing other than weather appropriate PJs. Baby would NOT sleep. Finally, I gave in and gave her the blanket and she was a different baby Smile

Now, I have the opportunity to get wearble sleepers. I am just wondering if my baby will like them as she pretty clearly doesn't like the idea of just PJs even if they are warm.

What I am asking is if anyone has done this. Anyone switch a baby that used a blanket into a wearable blanket?

My DD is 7 months and likes her cosy wearable blankets. She has fleece for cold winter months. She objects to
Footed pajamas but likes kicking her feet around inside the blanket. She also likes to touch and cuddle something soft so she has a fabric thing that's like a tiny blanket (one side silky one side plush) with a soft stuffed frogyy head. It's cute, small enough that I don't worry about choking, and she likes to stroke it as she goes to sleep.
Good luck!

I would borrow one and try it out before investing in one.. I think you said u live in Israel. You can pm me I have a brand new one that didn't end up using that you could try out and buy if you like it.
let me know
