Chosen for everyday little moments.
Made to be the first thing your baby reaches for.
Soft organic cotton comforters made for the in-between moments of the first year — naps, pram rides, settling at the end of the day, the long drive home from grandparents'. Built around the moment your baby first decides one of them is theirs.
A familiar friend
From around 6 months, babies start to recognise familiar objects and form attachments. A comforter becomes the thing they reach for at naptime, the thing they grip in the pram, the thing that makes a new room feel less new. Most of ours have a small animal head with a soft body — the part babies can grip with one hand.
Pick your format
Small comforters in 30 × 30 cm for grip and cuddle. Larger 40 × 40 cm comforters with matching drawstring bag for gift-ready presentation. Clip-on comforters with a button clip for pram, buggy, or play gym. Rattles in matching animal designs for sensory play from 3 months. Pick by use case rather than by size.
Builds a matching set
The comforter range coordinates with our bibs, sleeping bags, towels, and 4-layer muslin blankets — same colour palette, same animal designs. Useful for new-parent gift sets and the kind of nursery aesthetic that parents-to-be tend to plan in pregnancy.

FAQ
Questions parents ask
Honest answers, written by us. The same things we'd tell a friend.
From around 6 months, when babies start to recognise familiar objects and form attachments. Before then, comforters work best as supervised playtime companions — for tummy time, on the changing mat, or in the pram during awake periods. Standalone rattles are usable from 3 months, when babies start engaging with sound.
Current UK safer-sleep guidance from The Lullaby Trust is that soft toys shouldn't be in the cot before 12 months — they can cover the face or interfere with breathing. Before then, comforters and rattles are best used during awake time, supervised naps, cuddles, and pram rides. After 12 months, parents typically introduce a comforter into the cot at bedtime.
Most of our comforter range is OEKO-TEX certified for skin safety and EN71 + CE tested as soft toys. The teethers are made from untreated beech wood; the rattles are EN71 tested with non-toxic, BPA-free materials. A few of our newer comforters from a different supplier are OEKO-TEX certified only — these are clearly noted on each product page.
Comforters: machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, reshape and lay flat to dry. Don't tumble dry. Remove any wooden teether or rattle before washing. Beech wood teethers and rattles: wipe with a damp cloth — don't submerge, steam sterilise, or put in the dishwasher. The muslin softens with every wash and holds up to constant grip.
From around 3 months, when babies start engaging with sound and beginning to grip with their hands. The internal bell stays gentle so it doesn't startle young babies; the beech wood teething ring is useful from 4–5 months when teething starts. Rattles are for awake time only — current UK safer-sleep guidance is that soft toys shouldn't be in the cot before 12 months.
