your not to cover an infants face or put to many covers on them.


but you cover my son (he 2 months today) he pulls the blanket up past his nose, you pull it down he pulls it back up. lol all you ever see is his eyes lol.

It's supposed to decrease the chance of SIDS.

tell him that i send all night pulling his blankie down and 2 seconds later its back up lol

It must comfort him. It sounds cute.

it is actually i can hear him breathing so i know hes ok lol

Maybe he likes the smell of the blanket or the darkness. The womb is dark maybe he still remembers that. I put mine in blanket sleepers and didn't have to bother with covers.

It is a proven fact that SIDS is not necessarily caused by external suffocation - old wives tale, to be honest.

Unfortunately, they have not determined the resulting factor for SIDS to date.

A known fact is this, that any breathing being will "fight" for almighty air, even infants. As long as the object (or blanket) is light enough for them to kick/toss/remove on their own, they will be fine - not to mention, most infant blankets are so lightly woven it will allow air to flow freely enough.

My ex-wife and I were very concerned with one of our sons...whom seemed to possess the same habits as yours with his crib linens and blankets. We finally discovered he simply was cold or wanted to feel the comforts of the womb-like scenario. To this day (he is 8 years old), he still pulls the covers over his head, or even totally wraps himself in his covers head to toe. When/if he can't breath...he kicks them off.

For an infant, keep an eye on them...but, don't obsess over it. It's natural, but just make sure their "blankie" is for infants only and not an adult comforter or the like. The child will be fine, and you will be given lots of photo opps for cute pics.
