oh, my! I would put my babies down and put a flannel blanket over them like a tent. Mother about had a heart attack! (as though I hadn't learned anything from the first baby I had! HAH!)
anyway, baby girl comes along, I am living in an interesting place, mother and grandmother come to visit.
We couldn't afford a crib, so I had rigged up an orange crate (didn't own any dresser yet, so no drawers) in the livingroom on top of the console television set because #1 son kept throwing his shoes in on top of baby (sharing) ... so, the console is sitting on top of the television set, just inside the front door ... close to heater ...
Grands come in, I am in kitchen making coffee
"Where is the new baby?"
In that box ...
(Mother is grappling with simplicity <g> and looks into the box ... NO! She is NOT in the box!
HEART ATTACK! Someone has stolen my baby! I KNOW they have as I run from (okay, the stitches didn't let me run <g>) the back of the house to the front of the house.
before calling the police, I look inside the box to see if baby is still there, lift up the flannel blanket, and of course! There she is, all warm and cozy, snuggled down in her little cocoon.
HOW COULD YOU COVER HER LIKE THAT????
oh, mother, for crying outloud! That baby isn't going to smother under a flannel blanket.
YES! She will!
NO! She won't ... (at this point in time, I know nothing about fabric <g>) the blanket is made out of woven threads ... woven = air pockets = air flow ergo ... no danger!
and, FURTHERMORE! The blanket isn't over her face, it is draped over her head, and in case you haven't noticed, the nose on her face is square in the middle ... lying on her side with her shoulders and face protecting her, the chances are NIL ...
I should have been a lawyer! LOL
