Baby Blankies and Loveys

Baby Loveys & Blankies Australia - Security Blankets & Comfort Toys

A lovey - that perfect combination of soft blanket and cuddly friend - is one of the most powerful sleep and comfort tools in a parent's toolkit. When a baby finds their lovey, it becomes a constant companion: the first thing reached for at bedtime, the thing that makes unfamiliar places feel safe, and the object that soothes in the middle of the night when a parent can't be there. At Peekaboo Baby, our baby loveys and blankies range brings together the softest, most beautifully made comfort companions in Australia. Browse our full blankets and wraps range and explore comfort blankets for more soothing options.

A great lovey sits at the intersection of blanket and soft toy - small enough to carry everywhere, soft enough to be genuinely soothing, and durable enough to survive years of intensive love. Many are designed with a small stuffed animal head attached to a square of soft fabric, giving babies something to hold, chew, and cuddle all at once. The best loveys are machine washable (you'll need to wash it regularly AND you absolutely want a backup), made from skin-safe fabrics like muslin, organic cotton, or velboa plush, and sized to be safe for use in the cot from around 7 months. Pair with our baby sleeping bags and swaddles for a complete sleep support system.

What to look for in baby loveys and blankies

• Safe size and construction - loveys for sleep should be small and firm enough to not pose a suffocation risk; avoid very large, fluffy pieces for unsupervised sleep under 7 months
• Softness of fabric - the lovey that gets chosen is always the softest one; velboa plush, organic cotton muslin, and bamboo jersey are all beautifully soft options your baby will love
• Washability - this is non-negotiable; you will need to wash the lovey regularly and you'll want to buy a backup identical one to rotate through washing without a meltdown
• Appropriate attachments - soft animal heads and fabric bodies are safe; avoid loveys with button eyes, hard plastic parts, or long ribbons that could pose a hazard
• Neutral or classic design - a lovey is a long-term companion; a neutral animal (bunny, bear, elephant) in a classic colour is less likely to be discontinued than a licensed character, meaning you can always replace it if needed
• Gift appeal - loveys make one of the most cherished and practical gifts for newborns; beautiful packaging and a thoughtful design make them a gift parents are genuinely delighted to receive
