Question:

Does your baby sleep with a comforter/ large blanket?

I know this is a dumb questionBut since day one I've been co-sleeping with my little one so that I could breastfeed during the nightAnyways, my goal is to have him sleeping by himself in his crib by the time he is 6 months oldBut we live up north and it is SUPER coldEven with the heater on lots of cold air seeps in through the large windows we haveI figure since he sleeps with us and uses our comforter he should be fine in his crib, right? Im obviously concerned or I wouldnt be asking before I made the attemptAlso for those who live in the cold areas, what do you do?I also wanted to add that he is 5 mths today and that he can roll VERY easily in both directions.

Answer:

Aircraft-grade aluminum (such as 7075 T651) has substantially smaller tensile strength and elastic modulus than carbon fiber composite (but only along the fiber direction).
Carbon fibre is just that - fibreIt's good for making very strong ropes and fabrics but if you want to make solid objects you have to have a binder to hold the fibres in place and fill in the gaps between themThat's what the plastic or epoxy does.
Carbon fiber has been shown to be much stronger than aluminum.
I live in Upstate New York so I know what you're saying about the frigid temperatures, and we turn the heat down to 68 at night so it's tolerable for everyone else to sleep tooWhat I do is put my daughter in a blanket sleeper (the ones made of fleece) and cover her with one of the plush baby blankets (put it over your face first to make sure you can breathe easily through the fabric)If it's really cold sometimes I cover her with two but I really try not toI know that you're not really supposed to give them blankets but my daughter froze in the wearable sleepers, and the pediatrician said that the risk of SIDS is greatly reduced after baby can roll over because they're more capable of moving if they find it hard to breatheHope I could be of some help and Good Luck
