Baby bedding can be quite important to a child and many children have an emotional bond with their blanket. Children are comforted by what is familiar and can become upset and stressed when that familiar item, such as their ugly, old blanket, is taken away and replaced with a new one that their parents love.

A baby may throw quite a tantrum when their favorite blanket is taken away. A blanket is like a comforting friend to a child, not just something to keep him or her cozy.

Baby bedding can be quite important to a child and many children have an emotional bond with their blanket. A child’s attachment can reach a stage where they would rather remain with their tattered, old, decrepit blanket–surely long devoid of its original function to provide comfort–than become acquainted with a fresher, newer - and by all definitions of the word - better blanket.

Taking an infant’s favorite blanket away will tend to be a very disturbing experience and quite possible will lead to a “tantrum.” Blankets are more than just items to many children, becoming as familiar and comfortable as a close friend.
