Comfort object
A comfort object, transitional object, or security blanket is an item used to provide psychological comfort, especially in unusual or unique situations, or at bedtime for small children. Among toddlers, comfort objects may take the form of a blanket, a stuffed animal, or a favorite toy, and may be referred to by English-speaking toddlers as ''blankey'' and ''lovey''.
==Comfort objects for therapy==
Emergency vehicles and police patrol cars are sometimes equipped with stuffed toys, to be given to victims involved in an accident or traumatic shock and provide them comfort. Paramedics are trained to treat physical shock with a wide array of blankets designed to preserve heat, blood, and wounds for life-threatening traumas.
Often charities will provide comfort objects such as blankets and quilts to survivors of disasters.〔http://crafthope.com/2011/05/security-blankets-for-tornado-survivors/〕
