A vibrating baby blanket is disclosed, comprising a traditional baby blanket. Located inside of the blanket is a vibrating mechanism, the approximate size of an adult's outstretched hand, which produces vibrations to simulate the patting of a parent on a child's back. The vibrating mechanism is adjustable in frequency and intensity. The blanket is decoratively adorned, and plays music via an electronic music box, located inside of a control unit. The control unit and vibrating mechanism are located inside of a pocket on the blanket, thus permitting them to be removed when the blanket needs washing. Power is supplied by a detachable power cord and direct current power supply, as well as a rechargeable batteries. A portable pad is also disclosed.
