Shortly after Ivey was born we received a Lamb Finger Blanket as a gift from my husband’s boss. At first, I chalked it into the pricey and personalized category typically offered by retailers like RedEnvelope. However to my surprise, it quickly become her favorite nap time toy.
Even though the stuffed lamb is still too heavy for her to hold she enjoys grabbing and rubbing the satin-edge of the blanket. Based on how much she seem to enjoy this activity I feel it is safe to assume she will cart this everywhere we go once she is strong enough. At $19.95 (or $24.80 embroidered) it may be a little pricey but considering the benefits of a good nap (for both of us) it may just be worth it.
Update: 01/25/10 – This Lamb Finger Blanket has become such an important part of Ivey’s nap time routine that I recently purchased a second one for her to keep at daycare. Honestly, I am not sure it she would go down for a nap without it.

Oh that is to cute.
That’s so cute! She really does like to rub it on her face. I might have to get Fi one (and embroider it myself if I can get myself into the sewing room).
She is so adorable
Something about the satin that babies enjoy touching and rubbing. My oldest son had one too…..and he carried it for a long time.
Great video! Glad your baby loves the blanket.
I am so glad that I stumbled across this! My daughter loves her lamb blanket, but now I can’t find another one anywhere! Do you have any suggestions?
