A suggestion to enhance the connection of your baby to their new Angel Dear Blanket is to have mommy sleep for a few nights holding the blanket. This will cause the blankie to collect mommy's natural scent. Scent is one of baby's strongest senses at birth. When transitioning baby from being held to a basinet or crib, warm the blankie up in the dryer for a couple of minutes and now your Angel Dear Blankie is warm, smells like mommy & will help with transitioning from being held to independent sleeping.
