firmly recommend that a comforter is only given to a baby at sleep times or on occasions when some additional comfort is required, such as a visit to hospital or the doctor. In my opinion, it is not good for children or babies to be carrying their comforter around all day. My reason for this is if the comforter is carried around all the time it will no longer help a younger child recognise it as a going to bed signal and it will not help the older child with new milestones such as the first day at school because they are used to having it with them all the time.
