It is not okay for a baby to chew on his/her blanket. This action increases the risk for suffocation or strangulation. In addition, allowing the baby to chew on their blanket exposes the child to a phenomenon known as rebreathing. When the baby covers up their face, with a blanket for example, they will be breathing in the same air they have just exhaled. This prevents the baby from receiving the appropriate amount of oxygen intake. In a sense, it is like they are breathing in to a paper bag. Though this actions seems harmless, it is believed that rebreathing may be a contributer to cause of SIDS.
