Organic Cotton Bear Comforter

Organic Cotton Bear Comforter — a bear head, a soft muslin body and a knot to hold

A soft, filled bear head with an embroidered face, on a flat muslin body with two floppy arms, two little fabric tags and a knot at the bottom to grip. The outer is 100% organic cotton and the filling is 100% recycled polyester. At 45g and about 32cm long it is easy for a young baby to hold, scrunch and carry about. Choose a soft old pink or a neutral grey. Machine washable at 30°C and suitable from birth. BamBam call it the Organic Bear Tuttle, after the Dutch word for a comforter, and it is the comforter partner to their Organic Cotton Bear soft toy.

🤲 A comforter rather than a teddy

A comforter is the thing a baby holds, strokes and rubs against their cheek, rather than a toy to sit up and look at. This one is lighter than BamBam's soft toy bear, at 45g against 75g, which makes it easy for small hands to scrunch up and carry everywhere. Many families find that one familiar comforter makes nursery drop-offs, car journeys and new places a little easier.

🐻 Something different for every hand

Each part gives a baby something new to find. The round head is the bit to hold and look at, with embroidered eyes and nose, so there are no hard pieces. The body is flat, soft muslin that is easy to scrunch and stroke. The two floppy arms and the knot at the bottom are just the right size for small fists and gums, and the two fabric tags are the bit many babies end up fiddling with most.

🎨 Pink or grey

• Pink — a soft, dusty old pink rather than a bright one.
• Grey — the neutral one, and the easy choice when you are buying for someone else.

🧺 Easy to wash, which matters with a comforter

A comforter that gets loved will be chewed, dropped and dragged along the pavement. This one goes in the machine at 30°C. Many parents buy two of the same comforter, so one can be in the wash without a crisis at bedtime.

⚠️ Worth knowing before you buy

• Keep it out of the cot for now. Like any comforter or soft toy, keep it out of the cot until your baby is about 12 months old. Until then, use it for cuddles and settling while they are awake.
• It is lighter than the soft toy bear. If you want a bear to cuddle and sit on a shelf, the Organic Cotton Bear soft toy is the fuller one at 75g.
