Whether you call it a security blanket, comforter toy, love, lovey, blankie, doudou, or even nunu, your little one will surely love them.
Early studies indicate that comfort attachment starts before 12 months of age [1], and these tactile items can also be visually soothing [2].

An adorable plush character with soft plush polyester head and smooth plush printed blankie.
Warm hand and gentle machine washable.
