What is a doudou?

A doudou is a puppet, toy or even a piece of cloth that often helps babies to soothe themselves or fall asleep. It is called a transitional object because it is in this toy that newborn revisits a reference figure, which may be mom or dad.

What is it for?

the doudou is a soft toy with a pet's head attached to a handkerchief or piece of cloth. Its role is important because it helps babies from the earliest days to feel their mother's affection and warmth, and can later help him or her to detach from her after very prolonged contact with her during the months in the belly.

How to choose the doudou?

There are no rules to follow when choosing a doudou, but it is preferable to choose toys suitable for the age of the little one, which follow safety standards and conform to his or her needs. Instead, special attention should be paid to the fabric: it is important that the soft toy is also made of natural and sustainable materials, which are very gentle on the skin of little ones.
