Be careful with the old Army/wool blankets. When our daughter was an infant I put one in the bottom of her basket and a flannel sheet on top of that. She had some allergies but then they got worse, to the point she ended up in the hospital in an oxygen tent. The doctor told us there was no hope for her except one last .....something that was experimental. Her breathing got much better. Brought her home and it flared again. It was the wool she was allergic too. She is 44 yrs old now, lives in MN where it would be a help if she could wear wool but doesn't.
