Frequently Asked Questions
What is a doodoo blanket?
A doodoo blanket (also called a comforter or lovey) is a soft blankie that helps babies feel safe, calm, and reassured. Snookums makes South Africa’s most trusted and loved blankies — available in three adorable characters: Teddy, Lamb, and Bunny.
At what age can a baby sleep with a blankie?
Introduce from birth under supervision. For safe sleep, only let your baby sleep with their blankie from 7 months onward.
Do comforters really help with separation anxiety?
Yes — many parents find that a blankie provides comfort and makes transitions (like bedtime or daycare) easier.
Should I get more than one blankie?
It’s a good idea. Babies become attached, so having a spare helps during wash days or if one goes missing.
Is it better to use a dummy or a blankie?
Both can help soothe babies. Many parents use a dummy for sucking comfort and a blankie for cuddles and security.
How do I keep the blankie clean?
The Snookums Baby Security Blankie is fully machine washable. Wash regularly so your baby gets used to the clean version.
What if my baby doesn’t take to it?
Every baby is different. Offering it early and consistently helps. With three adorable choices — Teddy, Lamb, or Bunny — you can find one your baby loves.
How long will my child use it?
Some toddlers keep their blankie for years as a comfort buddy. It often helps them grow more confident and independent.
