    when do they actually start to like to sleep with them and not throw them overboard? i don't mind the pillow so much, but i'd really like for them to start getting used to sleeping with a blanket!

    My two JUST started with the blankets. They have always been in their cribs, but bunched up into little balls. One night, Anthony wanted a blanket on him. So I put it on him! Of course he wants like two blankets, the two stuffed animal blanket thingies(loveys maybe?). It's a process. And I guarantee they are off within 5 minutes of me leaving the room....

    Mine were around 2.5 or so before they started not throwing the blankets out. :good: Never had an issue with the pillows being thrown out. :pardon:

    Mine do decent with the pillows and right now are hit and miss with the blankets...sometimes they stay covered up and other times the blankets are tossed around the crib or outside of it.

    My girls have always liked having their blankets, but they didn't really start liking pillows until we moved them to their big girl beds. I tried several times to put them in the crib with them, but they always threw them out. Now they sleep with them...Allison's is toddler size, but Sarah likes an adult sized one.

    Mine have been sleeping with pillows since about 13 months. the only time they threw them out/around is if they are playing- after waking up from a nap or something otherwise they are always fast asleep with their heads on them.

    As for the blankets, they have just recently been wanting to cover up since we moved to the toddler beds a few weeks ago. THey are 19 months old now.

    Mine have always clutched their blankets while sleeping. My older dd didn't really sleep with a blanket for the purpose of staying warm until she was in a twin bed, and she didn't probably cover herself till she was 18 months or so. Same with the pillow, no pillow until the twin bed.
