The Importance of "Loveys"

Many babies adopt a favorite blanket or soft toy that they keep with them—always!

If your child has a special blanket or toy, it’s not a sign of insecurity. Quite the opposite.

Child development specialists agree that a lovey is, in fact, a wonderful way for a child to learn to comfort himself. Adopting one is a sign that a child has developed inner strength and resourcefulness.
