{"product_id":"tim-the-tiger-baby-comforter","title":"Little Big Friends Tim the Tiger Comforter – Baby Comfort Blanket | From Birth","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe one they'll never let go of.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery baby eventually picks a favourite, and once they've chosen, that's it — you're committed. It comes to the childminder. It comes on holiday. It gets left in a café once and causes a family emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim is an extremely strong candidate. He's ultra-soft, flat, light and covered in interesting things to hold, which is precisely the combination that turns a soft toy into \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e soft toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMade for holding on to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat shape is the clever bit. A newborn can't grip a chunky toy, but they can hold on to something thin and soft — which means Tim works from the very first weeks, long before a bulkier teddy would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe's made from plush looped fabric on one side and a silky jungle print on the other, so there's a lovely contrast between soft and smooth. Tuck him in a pram, drape him over a car seat or hand him over at bedtime; he settles easily into whatever the routine needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlenty to keep little hands busy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim isn't just for cuddling. He comes with three ribbons, three cords and a teething ring, all sewn in for exploring — and babies are drawn to fiddly bits like nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery tug on a ribbon and pull on a cord is quiet practice in grip strength, finger control and hand-eye coordination. The teething ring earns its place too, arriving right on time for the stage when everything goes straight in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy comforters matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA comforter isn't just a toy — it's a familiar, soft, always-the-same thing to hold on to when everything else is new. That's genuinely useful at bedtime, at nursery drop-off, in the car, and on the long list of occasions when a baby needs reassuring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce him early and let him become part of the wind-down routine, and before long the sight of Tim starts doing some of the settling all on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat they're learning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✋ \u003cstrong\u003eFine motor skills\u003c\/strong\u003e – ribbons and cords to pull, grasp and explore\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🌈 \u003cstrong\u003eSensory development\u003c\/strong\u003e – plush loops, silky print and varied textures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🦷 \u003cstrong\u003eTeething relief\u003c\/strong\u003e – a soothing ring built right in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e❤️ \u003cstrong\u003eEmotional security\u003c\/strong\u003e – a constant, familiar friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e👀 \u003cstrong\u003eVisual interest\u003c\/strong\u003e – a bold jungle print to focus on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking after Tim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in cold water, no bleach, and leave him to air dry naturally.
