Baby comforter Cuski Original soother blanket soft calming sleep aid Used within the NHS CUSKI FABBY

We have had these since my son was born over 11yrs ago. The original is much loved & looks a bit sorry for itself these days, but my son was adamant he wanted a new one for his 11th birthday! This now brings the total to 5 that he takes to bed each night. All much loved & hugged to death. I buy these for any friends who gave had a baby as I think they are marvellous & really do work for tiny ones. There must be something in it or my son would not still want them :)

We now have 3 of these in rotation/ backups. My little one is 11 months and will really only sleep with this at night, we never wanted to use dummies and a friend suggested this as a good option. He settles much quicker with this and amazingly it seems to be standing up well to chewing with his new razor sharp teeth. UPDATE -ok so now we have 5 of these - all going strong. He is now 14 months and starting nursery has meant he uses Cuski a bit more often as a safe transitional support... some days we manage with out it for hours, others he needs it all day- we tend to give him a clean one each night.

I wanted to love this, baby took well to it and it did soothe him, but I woke up once and found it wrapped fully around his neck. Not sure this could do any damage but my gut instinct is to avoid this (and all toys) in bed until over the age of 1 as per standard advice. It also feels like a kitchen towel which was weird at first but actually that’s not a bad thing as it absorbs baby drool nicely. I use it to help my baby sleep and then take it out of the cot. Also it’s a bit expensive for what it is.

I bought this for my son when he was 3 months old, but he didn’t really “take to it” until he was about 5 months. At first, I gave it to him to hold when I fed him at bedtime (mainly to stop his flailing arms from clawing me!) and after a couple of weeks, I gave it to him when I put him in his cot for bedtime and naps. He now sucks it, rubs it into his face and strokes it to help him get to sleep. It often gets flung around but because of its length and shape, he can easily find it. If he ever falls asleep in my arms nursing and I want to put him down, I often place him down and as he rouses, I have Cuski ready to rub his face with a little and he nuzzles it which sends him back to dreamland.

My son feels safe and relaxed.

I was hesitant at first, thinking how could something that looks like a voodoo doll comfort my then 2month old infant? Well, surprisingly, IT WORKS! My son looks more for this than for his dummy. Wouldnt go anywhere without tjis little miracle product. Does hold in my smell for a couple of weeks then would just have to sleep with it again. Planning on buying another one in case this needs washing.

It’s nice but a bit expensive for what it is. My baby hasn’t been bothered unfortunately :(

I love this almost as much as my baby does. He will not fall asleep without holding something and until I got this it was me. I could not put him down without crying and with blankets and muslin cloths he would pull them over his face. He loves holding on to this feeling it, and falling asleep holding it.

She was so attached I had to buy a second one (same colour) so her mom could wash and rotate them. Also as a backup in case one went missing or was forgotten somewhere as she wouldn’t sleep without it. It was a few years before she realized there were 2 of them😁. She is now 6 and is not so attached but they are still in her room. Worth every penny.
