About Us
Luca CharlesTM was born on the 23rd of September in 2002. Shortly after his birth, Luca Charles was diagnosed with a skin condition commonly known as Eczema, as well as with Asthma. Due to his condition, My Blankee developed a collection of hypoallergenic fabrics, like the Minky Dot Velour, Minky Solid Velour and the Luxe collection to accommodate Luca and others who share the same condition. The moment of realization hit when Luca Charles uttered his first words: “my blankee" and then the My Blankee Poem was created.
My Blankee PoemTM
“I love my little blankee,
I take it wherever I go
It keeps me warm and cozy
at home or on the go.”TM
Yet beneath this all, there is a fundamental set of beliefs. A baby blanket is a transitional object - absolutely vital to the development of the mind. A baby will undoubtedly feel extreme anxiety caused by increasing separation from mommy. This is where a baby blanket comes in – like a binky, a lovey, a security or a stroller blanket. Any of these blankets can be a security blanket to the baby and is called such because it is essential to the feeling of the object of security for the baby.
As a great aid to this security, the mother should sleep with the blanket first in order for it to absorb her scent. As the periods of separation grow, the baby realizes that he/she is a separate entity and is dependent on others, but a baby blanket is always there. The baby blanket smells like mommy, like home, and it is the first possession of the child - the only thing that is truly his/her own. In this way, it is a coping mechanism; the child will, for comfort, invent a bond with mommy by way of his/her blankee. This develops the mind to eventually allow use of objects, symbols, and illusion. (These ideas in part given to us by: Winnicott, D. W. via “Transitional Objects and Transitional Phenomena.” The International Journal of Psychoanalysis 1953.)
