Comforters for Babies Over 7 months
As babies grow, many families choose to introduce a comforter from around seven months of age. Our collection includes breathable muslin comforters such as the Sleep Bear which are an excellent first comforter, alongside cuddly soft toys for toddlers from brands such as Jellycat and Happy Horse.
When can I introduce a comforter?
According to safe sleep guidelines, you can start introducing a comforter from around 7 months of age as part of your baby's bedtime routine. Before then, start introducing the comforter during feeds, cuddles, story time or when settling your baby so it becomes associated with comfort, security and sleep, but don’t leave it with your baby unattended until at least 7 months of age.
A comforter can become a familiar sleep cue that helps your child feel settled at bedtime, during naps and when away from home. Choosing a breathable muslin comforter for younger babies or a soft comforter for older babies and toddlers can help provide reassurance as they grow and become more independent.
