Collection: Baby Comforter

How do you choose your baby's lovey?

Around 8 months, many babies adopt a favorite object that helps them get through separations: pediatricians call it a transitional object, while everyone else says lovey. Choosing one deserves a bit more thought than simply falling for the first one you see in a store.

Material first and foremost

Cotton gauze, breathable and lightweight, is suitable from birth. Muslin wrinkles just enough to be gripped by tiny hands. Plush, which is softer and fluffier, becomes appealing as your baby grows and wants more substantial cuddles. In every case, check that it complies with the EN 71 toy safety standard: no detachable parts, reinforced seams, and materials free of harmful substances. All the loveys in this collection meet it.

The right size

Between 20 and 30 cm: small enough to be grabbed and dragged everywhere, big enough not to vanish under the mattress. Models with a built-in rattle add a sound-based stimulation that little ones enjoy.

Advice from parents who have been there

Buy the lovey in duplicate from the start. The day the only one is left on a park bench, this precaution will save you from a very long night. Remember to alternate between the two regularly so that they wear down and pick up the same scents.

Caring for a constant companion

A lovey lives dangerously: machine wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag, and air dry. The dryer damages the fibers and appliqués. Regular washing is essential, since this little companion spends more time on the floor than we'd like to know.

To complete the bedtime ritual, a baby night light softens the night, and our plush toys take over when little arms want something bigger than a lovey. For some reading, our article on the natural nighttime routine helps you establish peaceful nights.
