Security Blankets

What is a security blanket? Security blankets, often called the blankie, banky, wubby, or lovey, are small blankets that young children carry to help ease anxiety. It can be a plain, small, and soft blanket, or it can attach to a stuffed animal to make the baby comfortable. In many cases, the baby blanket becomes an essential part of a child's accessories and childhood. It can save parents from sleepless nights and make outings more wholesome as the baby will not fuss when they have the blanket.

A baby can personify their lovey blanket by giving it a name. It is a sweet thing when a baby asks for their "Joe" before they sleep. But why do babies need these blankets anyway? At seven months, a baby experiences separation anxiety. Some babies are afraid that everyone will leave them when they sleep. It's a natural stage in the development of a baby. However, this anxiety affects the way they sleep your child may wake up in the middle of the night and start calling you. The lovey is a soft blanket that is warm and cuddly. It also smells familiar and feels good against their skin. The baby gets used to the blanket, and they can sleep anywhere as long as they have it. When used away from home, the blanket makes any unfamiliar place feel homely. When a baby gets used to the blanket, it becomes their attachment object that makes them feel safe and protected.

A baby blankie is ideal for babies seven months or older. Before that, the baby may not form any attachment with the blanket or any other lovey item you buy them. Babies will hold more to their loveys, rattles, and baby toys when they are between 18 and 24 months. After that, the attachment will be less intense, and the separation anxiety eases away. Still, it's OK to let them hold on to their lovey until they willingly let it go.
