Baby sleep blanket? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

Being caught between your mother-in-law and different sources is really confusing, I understand your concern.
There's a clear rule about baby sleep safety: for the first 12 months, nothing should be in your baby's bed — no blankets, comforters, pillows, bumpers, or toys. Instead, dress your baby in a sleep sack (sleep wearable) with the right tog value for room temperature. A sleep sack does the same job as a blanket without the risk of it wrapping around your baby's face or getting tangled.
Your mother-in-law's "blanket and covers" advice came from her generation's common practice, but current pediatrics (AAP and Turkish Ministry of Health) are clear: sleep sack, not blanket. You can tell her, "Doctors don't recommend it that way anymore; we use sleep sacks for safety."
