i think it is recommended from 12 months.

MUm - the ex MW nurse etc....made me short sheet ellas cot so she wouldnt go under and suffocate..so i did!!!

apparently suffocation risk is the major problem - and seeing how much Ella can move now i am glad she is short sheeted!]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2007 09:21:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=184006&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#184006 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183984&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183984 Author: MyMinis

i used to wonder this to, but i still use a quilt type blanket, i swaddle/ or sleeping bag james (depending on his mood) then put the blanket length ways with a sheet and its tucked in tightly.
i did the same with haleigh to.

they are great as a blanket on the floor to put bubs on to play]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2007 08:20:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183984&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183984 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183915&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183915 Author: busymum

Krystiana has had a duvet on her bed for a while now but not in the early days - mostly at that time because it was summer though! Accept it, and use it as you feel "ready".]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 22:40:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183915&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183915 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183876&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183876 Author: jack_&_charli

i've always had quilts on the kids in the cot, but they are always tucked in tightly and pulled down abit anyway. the safety sleep stops them from wriggling down also ]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 21:45:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183876&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183876 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183870&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183870 Author: AndysMummy

If you don't want to put at quilt on your babies bed they are really beautiful to play on the floor on. I use the quilts I have made like this as I'm too paranoid to use any blankets on Andy's bed. Am using a sleep sack instead. ]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 21:22:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183870&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183870 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183812&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183812 Author: pepsi

I imagine the recommendation comes just because a quilt/duvet is bulkier and heavier than a normal blanket and poses an increased risk of suffocation if it ends up over the babys face. A baby could be strong enough to push down a blanket, but somehow if they pushed down a quilt it is a bit firmer and tends to pop back to where it was more readily. That's my guess anyway..]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 19:36:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183812&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183812 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183799&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183799 Author: mummy_becks

My mum makes quilts and the one she has made for Andrew went on his cot. As you know what it is made of you should be right. My mum has just about finished Josh's and that will go on his cot. They are both tucked in and there ain't know way they could be pulled up over their face.]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 19:15:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183799&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183793&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183793 Author: Bubbaloo

They say not to use them till they're one I have one James' bed since it's been cold I just thought it was because they were heavy so a suffocation risk. I friend of mine used one pretty much straight away and had it width ways on the cot so more tucked it in.

I use them in the gremlins cots, tucked down firmly with a sheet, and I did with Maya too. They are in Safety Sleeps which stop them wriggling down and if the quilt is tucked in firmly at the foot they can't pull it up.

and what is the difference if you have baby swaddled up and then have thin (non fluffy) quilt tucked in like a blanket?

Not meaning to stir up anything here I'm just getting asked by my mum (the quilter) and I didnt have any good enough answers....with your mum "coz they say so"doesntcut it.]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:50:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183784&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183784 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183779&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183779 Author: Paws

Also that babies can't push them up off their face as they don't "scrunch" up like wool blankets can.]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:25:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183771&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183771 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183712&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183712 Author: kebakat

At antenatal we were told.. I can remember a couple of the reasons but there were others..

- most aren't made from all natural fibres
- some are fluffy so therefore a suffocation risk
- they don't breathe very well ]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 16:24:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183712&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183712 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183694&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183694 Author: Bel

Ok, I have googled and googled and got nowhere. SIDS recommends you dont use quilts in baby's cots etc.

Does anyone know why?
Is it because they might be big and fluffy and move around?
If so, would a thin, well tucked in one be ok?
Why are quilts different to blankets?

Any ideas???]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:37:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PID=183692&title=whats-wrong-with-quilts#183692
