Jellycat Bashful Fox Cub Soother

Few baby gifts look this good and actually earn their keep in the crib — the Jellycat Bashful Fox Cub Soother does both. At its center sits Jellycat's signature orange fox cub: perky ears, a quiet embroidered face, and the kind of floppy softness that newborns immediately want to grip. Attached beneath is a generously sized soother square made from soft recycled plush — textured enough to be interesting, gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. It's designed for newborns and young babies, but it tends to stick around long past the infant stage.

What makes it work as more than a keepsake is how it functions day-to-day. Babies naturally clutch the square while they nuzzle the fox, and that combination of tactile surfaces gives them something familiar to reach for whether they're settling to sleep or just need a moment of comfort in an unfamiliar place.

• Soft recycled plush construction throughout — the soother square and fox body both use responsibly sourced materials
• Attached comfort square is sized for small hands to grip, scrunch, and hold
• Jellycat's Bashful Fox Cub character — embroidered facial features with no hard or loose parts
• Suitable from birth; designed with newborn safety in mind
• Lightweight and compact — easy to tuck into a nappy bag or pushchair pocket
• Makes an excellent standalone gift or pairs naturally with other items from the Jellycat Bashful range

Care & cleaning: The Jellycat Bashful Fox Cub Soother is surface washable — use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to spot clean the plush and soother square, then allow to air dry fully before returning it to your baby. For a deeper clean, hand washing is recommended; avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or submerging in water, as this can affect the shape and softness of the recycled plush. Keeping a spare on hand is always a sensible move with any Jellycat baby soother — they have a way of becoming irreplaceable quickly.
