My 3 year old daughter has a blankie that she considers is her best friend. Before she was born, I had this good idea from remembering when my brother was a toddler to get two blankets that way one can get washed and she'll never know. That was short lived. She found out she had 2 then she wore one out and i replaced the band but now she says the furry part is too rough now and I've been trying to brush it out like I do to fur costumes at work. But I'm thinking maybe its time to wean her from the blanket(s) but I'm just not sure how to do it. Any suggestions?
Re: When is it a good time to wean the blankie away and how?
I wouldn't worry about it. It's such a harmless attachment item. She'll grow out of it on her own.
If it's really raggedy (one of my cousins chewed the strings open on her knit throw, so it was dangerous) let her pick out a new one and have a little blankie party.
