How to choose a comforter for your baby?

Why give your baby a comfort blanket?

A comforter isn't just a toy. It's what psychologists call a transitional object. It helps babies connect with their mom, dad, and the outside world. It reassures them, especially during times of change: falling asleep, being separated, starting daycare, etc. By squeezing their comforter, baby finds a familiar smell, a comforting softness, and a silent but ever-present companion.

How to choose the right comforter for your baby?

Every baby is unique, and so is their comfort blanket. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

  • The shape: some prefer a flat comforter that's easy to handle, others a rounder plush toy to cuddle.
  • Size: a comforter that is too big can bother your baby; all our comforters are sized to fit their little hands.
  • Care: choose comforters that are machine washable at 30°C, as they will often be chewed, carried around... and adored!
