Introducing and Using a Comforter

I'm interested to know if any of you use comforters with your baby? I know some parents do and some don't. After hearing that they can be a great comfort to babies by helping to settle them I thought I'd give them a go with Ethan. A comforter can be as simple as a muslin cloth that has mum/dad's smell on to help with separation anxiety at bedtime. But if you want something a bit more flashier than there's absolutely loads of lovely comforters out there to choose from. For example on a recent trip to London Adam and I brought this adorable Mickey Mouse one from the Disney Store.

We also we're lucky enough to get the opportunity to review Daisy Roots and we opted for their tabbeez comforter and slippers combo set in blue because not only do you get a super-soft comforter, you get it personalised which I just absolutely love AND you get a lovely pair of adorable soft slippers! The set comes packaged beautifully (as seen below) and the items are of the highest quality! I actually love personalised items and even more so for Ethan, it just adds so much sentiment. This is something that'll stay with him throughout his childhood I hope. See below for more pictures of this beautiful set, which would make the perfect gift for any new baby!

Top tips for introducing and using a comforter with baby:

• Pick something small, that they can easily hold on to. The above comforter has little textured tabs on to help baby hold on to it and stimulate their senses. 
• Choose something soft, the softer the better. 
• Consider personalising the comforter for extra cute factor.
• Choose something that is machine washable in case there are any accidents or baby is sick.
• Mum or Dad try sleeping with the comforter before giving to baby, so that it smells of you.
• Use the comforter whilst feeding, let baby hold it as that's when baby is most relaxed. 
• Introduce the comfort for all nap/sleep times.

If you're looking for an adorable personalised comforter like the one above, why not check out Daisy Roots . They also sell other little gifts/items for babies.
