Marcus & Marcus Soothing Blanket is an extra soft and cuddly animal-shaped blanket that can provide sensory stimulation for your baby. Soothing blankets have been shown to be beneficial to children when they are away from their mothers. It can aid with child development by offering emotional support while your baby develops their own independence. A fastener on the Marcus & Marcus Baby Security Blanket lets you attach a pacifier or a toy to the soothing blanket. The Soothing Blanket is free of BPA, phthalate, and harmful chemicals.
