Baby Comforters (Comfort Blankets)
Baby comforters (commonly referred to as Comfort Blankets) are an ideal alternative to your babies’ favourite toy or dummy. To a baby, touch is everything which is why they naturally love the tactile qualities that the comfort blanket offers. Without the ability to interact with the world through words and actions in the same way that adults do, babies use touch and smell as a way to comfort and reassure them selves.
So why do babies love blankets so much?
Of course, the thing babies most like to touch is their parents so on the absence of a comforting pair of arms and that familiar scent of mum and dad; a soft blanket is often the next best thing.
A parent will quite often see their baby or toddler cuddling up to a blanket, or insisting that their blanket comes along on trips and outings. In your child’s eyes, the comfort blanket has come to represent everything that’s good, positive and comforting. Its presence helps lull them to sleep, or provides comfort and relaxation when they’re feeling insecure which is why it is such an important and personal element in their life.
So what is a baby comforter?
Well it can be as simple as a favourite piece of bedding (for example a cellular blanket or a soft flannelette sheet) or even a favourite soft toy. It is now possible to buy a multitude of different comfort blankets which all have the same objective – to provide a soothing comforting tactile experience.
These days, comfort blankets come in a variety of shapes and colours. Quite often parents will find themselves looking for a blanket that also has a large manufacturers label – this can be sometimes be as inportant as the actual blanket.
There are essentialy 3 types of comfort blanket:
The traditional cellular or fleece blankets sometimes incorporate a matching satin bound edging ribbon. This silky feeling fabric makes them appealing to babies and toddlers alike often becoming a favourite comfort blanket, which has to accompany them everywhere.
The taglet comfort blanket which features a number of fabric tags on a textured blanet which offer a multitude of sensory serfuces - The soft micro fleece and smooth satin tags of the Baby Sense pink taglet comfort blanket, provides just the right soothing touch experience for your baby. When falling asleep the baby will rub the Taglet between the fingers or on the face. These are self-soothing strategies that the baby can use independently at night, which means a good night’s sleep for everyone. The taglets are made with white polar fleece and 210g interlock, with three different satin tags on each side of the square.
The comfort blanket toy which is a blanket and toy combined which may feature a satin edge or a satin underside. The Sleepytot bunny baby comforter is a calming, invaluable aid to help settle your little one. Soft and cuddly, it has an innovative function – Velcro on the paws so they can be opened and closed. Which means you can add a soother or teether without it getting lost!

floats, squeeze toys, water bottle, anything that can get wet, ball and she should be pretty happy with that. kids this age love cups in the water too, they like being able to scoop water and poor it out or all over them. you should be good to go
depends on the toy; for instance, not something she could fit in her mouth quickly, but a stuffed animal with hard eyes would be ok if she's being watch bc that takes more work on her part and she's less likely to be able to do it when we turn our head for a sec….
she also has those alphabet/numbers playmat that says it's not for children under 'x' age, but i just removed the small parts that she might be able to get in her mouth and now it's safe for her to play on/with…common sense goes a long way; unfortunately, some ppl don't seem blessed with it…LOL
There's some great ones on amazon, like this one:

Name That Poop
Melt little bits of candy bars in disposable diapers, and pass them around the room – see how many people can guess which candy bar is which….
The grossest ones are snickers and baby ruth, because of the chunks of course.
Encourage them to put the opened diaper up to their noses and sniff, or to push it around with their fingers.
You can use a playpen, but don't add any mattresses or extra padding. I used mine, and just wrapped a bigger blanket flat around the edges, so it was soft to lay on but the blanket wouldn't get bunched up and be a hazzard. Don't add a mattress, use the bottom it comes with. The baby could get stuck between the sides of the playpen and the mattress you put in, and cause a problem.

My 8 month old daughter can play contently (with or without me present) for about 45-50 minutes. My oldest son, who is almost 3, can play by himself for up to 2 hours! Once he's into something it's got his full attention for a while
Quite often my son will go to his room and my daughter will crawl after him and they have played together in his room for up to an hour. I'll admit, it's nice!
