My girl had her favorite little smelly blanket. From the one side it looked very cute to see her sleeping hugging this blanket, from the other side I think it is not hygienic. Of cause I washed it every week, but the smell did not disappear. I had to throw it in the garbage while she was at grandma and purchased her a new knitted blanket from a nice uk store https://sommio.co.uk/KnittedWeightedBlanket. When she returned home and realized that her favorite blanket was missing she had a real hysterical. She didn't even want to take her new one. But so the kids are, a week passed and now she is in love with her new pink blanket.
