An infant blanket provides soothing sounds and music so as to comfort and make quiet an infant. Within a head or face portion of the blanket, a pocket is provided into which a speaker is inserted. The speaker may connect by wire or wirelessly to a playback device. The speaker is padded by a foam pillow so as to not be noticed by an infant lying on the blanket. The playback device may have pre-programmed songs or sounds, but may also be programmable by the user. The blanket may be in the shape of a friendly animal.
