When looking for baby comforters, consider factors such as material, size, and washability. We recommend introducing a comforter to your baby at around six months old and sticking to one washable option. Remember to sleep with it to transfer your scent and give it to your baby at each nap and bedtime. Using a comforter can also be a great tool when trying to transition away from pacifiers.

Studies have shown that children who carry a comforter or security blanket are better able to deal with stressful situations. They also tend to be more well-adjusted as they grow older. Younger babies show a preference for objects resembling small blankets.

Introducing a comforter to your baby

Introducing a comforter to your baby is a great way to provide them with a sense of security and comfort. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

  1. Start at six months of age to introduce the comforter.

  2. Stick to using one washable comforter and always have a spare on hand.

  3. Sleep with the comforter overnight so that it smells like you. If you're breastfeeding, consider putting a little bit of your milk on it.

  4. Give the comforter to your baby at each nap and bedtime.

  5. Comforters can help when trying to wean off the pacifier.

By following these tips, you can introduce a comforter to your baby and provide them with a soothing companion during their early years.

As children get older some parents may worry about child’s dependence on comforter. There is nothing to worry about! Children tend to naturally reduce their dependence on their comforter as they get older. As long as their comforter isn’t stopping them from leading a happy and healthy life then please don’t worry.
