Doudou “mom scent” in organic cotton

Soft doudou in organic cotton is a comforter baby toy, ideal for the first months. Its function is twofold and is related to the age of the child. When he’s newborn or a few months old, the doudou is a means of indirect contact with the mother. In the first few days, the newborn is not yet able to fully perceive the difference between the real mother and an object that has its own “organic perfume”. Therefore, when the mother physically momentarily moves away, she can leave the doudou near the baby, giving him the feeling of having her next to him and thus not incurring the small traumas of fear and abandonment. The mother can keep the doudou on her skin, then giving it to the little one with the warmth and scent of her own body. A special emotion to keep the mother’s closeness alive, to give comfort and to sleep. Subsequently, after the first months of growth, the little one acquires the cognitive abilities with which he begins to discover himself and the world. The doudou, dear to him and always close, will be the first object with which he begins to understand his own individuality with respect to the outside world. Although so familiar, the doudou is something that is not part of the child’s body; In this way, the baby perceives his individuality for the first time, in a gentle and non-traumatic way; the fact that this happens with the object that smells like a mother is a further important aspect for its growth.
