woobie

Child's security blanket

A woobie is a comfort object—typically a child's security blanket or stuffed toy that provides emotional reassurance: He still sleeps with his woobie.

The term extends to anything that offers psychological comfort or safety.

In military slang, a woobie is the quilted poncho liner issued to soldiers, prized for its warmth and versatility.
