When can kids sleep with toys in the crib?
Search History Confessions: Granny Edition
“I’ve got one for you,” Granny says. (She hates that we call her Granny, so we keep doing it with hopes it sticks.) “Today I googled when can he sleep with toys?”
She goes on to tell me that my son told her that he wants to snuggle with a blanket. He is one. He cannot talk.
Silky dragon lovey from the neighbors. Blue soft seal from his great aunt. Little Blue Truck that we already know by heart. Green plush Hess train that he’ll flip over to smooth the wheels.
“He would sleep better if he could have some toys in there.”
Granny wants answers.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends at least one year old before introducing a stuffed animal or blanket.
(Happy, Granny?)
We’re going with the empty crib for now. This mom has too many fears of the unknown. Surely, one day we’ll get there to the snuggly days. Will he be as cute as Linus?
