Was feeling a little bit pleased with myself for having weaned my six-month-old off his dummy and replaced it with a little comfort blanket that he seems to enjoy snuggling up to. However, the last couple of nights he has taken to placing it over his entire face. The first couple of times I thought he'd done it by accident and took it off. Now, having watched him put it back repeatedly, and do the same with a teddy bear comforter, I'm sure he's doing it on purpose. It looks rather alarming - should I be worried about potential suffocation? Or is it a bit like rolling onto their tummies - once they're doing it themselves, there's no need to worry too much?
I think if he can purposely put it on his face he should be able to remove it too. I always use a crib sheet across my baby's cot so it's easier to change if she is a little sick. The last few days she has been untucking it and putting it over her face!?!? We panicked too but it's definitely something she conciously does!
my ittle one likes to go to sleep with a blanet over her face (also coming up to 6 months). as long as its a light cloth/ blanket i dont see a problem with it. my baby is completley happy and i also feel by this stage she can shuffle herself round if something bothered her.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
