Is it safe for my newborn to have a blanket over her at night?

[WombToBloom]

There are a couple of ways to wrap your baby at night. The first involves swaddling the baby with a blanket and placing them on their back. Babies tend to be comfortable this way as it reminds them of being inside the womb. This is the preferred way of wrapping a newborn or a small baby to sleep at night.

You can also use a blanket to cover the baby at night. The baby is generally less comfortable this way but it is unlikely that a blanket will suffocate your child during the night unless it is particularly dense. Again, babies don’t generally like to sleep this way but if your baby does, you can use a soft, weave blanket and cover them loosely with the blanket. Don’t use a pillow as that can be suffocating to the baby and the baby really doesn’t need a pillow.

Yes it is save but do check that your baby's face would not be covered from the blanket.
