Comfort blankets

[FruitynNutty]

Can anyone recommend a nice soft comfort blanket that doesn't cost a lot to replace - and is also very easy to replace.

I use very cheap soft fleecy type ones for DS that you can find anywhere but am looking for something different for our new baby so they won't get confused.

I was looking at Taggies but they are expensive to replace.

Any ideas?

They are gorgeous! but quite expensive . The ones I buy for DS are only about £5-£8.

Good God, the price has shot up! Our first was a gift and I bought the inevitable back up one about a year ago for £8.

Amazon have got them for £9.95. I am still at the price.

Nothing you can't do yourself with a flannel and a tennis ball .

Taggies are gorgeous, but expensive.

People do make them to sell on ebay they are much cheaper. I make them and sell and give to friends, too.

PS just remembered DS has a DPAM one - apparently they guarantee to stock comforters for 4 years so you can replace them. This one

They seem to call them cuddlies if that helps you search.

We use muslins, cheap, cheerful and very easy to replace.

she also has an ebay store, I have two kids that have these. I prefer them to taggies as the back is satin which the kids seem to like.

Thanks lastyearsmodel I'm in love with the Cuski now - nope, I shall steer well clear!

we use muslin,too. dc always had muslin around since birth and byt he time they are toddlers they tend to carry it around, and take bed with. its cheap and no worries about loosing them. we have a few dozen of them.

Muslins are a fab idea, don't know why I didn't think of that myself! Thanks for that Fivegomad and Diva

yes, there are so thread that mnners praise muslin squares
the reason is, when your child loose THE loved comfort blanket, its like emergency find one or get something similar, some children go extremely upset, wont settle etc... so when you have dozen muslin sitting in the drawer,its no problem.

And they are brilliant at mopping up puke and spills.

definitely muslins. my ds calls them paggy (no idea why) and his favourite (ie oldest most disgusting full of holes one) is called scraggy paggy !

m&s used to lovely soft ones, now they dont do anymore, so for mothercare ones, they are washes very nice and soft, i dont want to sound snobb but i have had ones from supermarket, boots etc... they are not as soft as mothercare ones. i quite like it myself, i could g sleep with one.

lol diva the mothercare ones are nice. my 9yr old still sometimes goes to bed with his 'huggy' (a muslin square) ds2 fiercely independent wouldn't have a comforter of anysort. ds3 loves the jojo maman bebe ones lovely used to be two for £10.

Another vote for muslins. My 4 month old already uses one as a sleepy soother.

Sleepytot do a nice comforter. A bit expensive but vey handy if you use dummies. I like muslin squares best of all.

We got both our DC hooked on white flannels - bought in bulk from ikea [evil cheapskate mother grin]
