This question is very important because your baby will have a particular attachment to it, which will be his traveling companion perhaps for life. Of course, it's baby who will have the last word on who will be "his blanket". But for all that, there are aspects that you must pay attention to for your health and well-being. So how to choose it well?

Nº1 : it is important to choose it that complies with European safety standards NF and CE.

In fact, these markings assure you that the comforter has passed safety tests and that it complies with French or European standards. Your child may spend his time chewing his companion, and certain models are therefore not suitable for toddlers under 36 months.

N°2 : Favor soft materials.

For your baby to accept it, a comforter must be pleasant to the touch. Your child will spend his time caressing it, burying his face in it or even sleeping with it. Choose a hypoallergenic material to prevent irritation to your baby's skin. That doesn't stop you from finding colorful designs made up of various textures.

N°3 : pay attention to the size of the comforter.

This should be easy to handle and have a size suitable for your newborn's small hands (approximately 15-25cm). A blanket that is too bulky risks taking up too much space and being difficult to carry. Conversely, one that is too small could quickly be lost. Choose a model with a good grip using animal ears or tail, a label or even small bows for example.

Nº4 : Choose a washable model.

The best baby comforter is also a model that is easily machine washable. Mites like to take up residence there, and baby drags his cuddly toy everywhere and risks dropping it on the floor often, so it is important to be able to wash it regularly.

Knowing which of these little accomplices will become baby's chosen one is often a riddle, but one thing is certain: the choice belongs to the little one and him alone!

As a parent, however, you can make this choice. To do this, only offer him comfort toys that meet your criteria. You can also sleep with the comforter, so that it absorbs your scent, which will make the comforter familiar and reassuring for baby.

And there you have it! Up to you
