In order to maximize the effectiveness of the Silkie™, place Silkie™ inside your shirt for a few hours to absorb your scent.  Alternatively, you can also place Silkie™ between yourself and Baby when you nurse or are bottle-feeding baby.  Not only do babies love the softness of Silkie’s CVC velour and the smoothness of its satin, but this tactile stimulation is important for baby’s early development. 


Many psychologists believe that bonding with a comforter such as a Silkie™, can provide comfort and security during periods of transition since it is associated with warm feelings between the baby and a familiar adult.

Very often, preference is directed towards pieces of clothing that have been worn by the mother of father that bears their smell. Baby may rely on this important comfort tool when ill, under stress or tired. It can also help baby settle back to sleep when she wakes up after a sleep cycle.
