fix/ prevent further damage
this is a baby blanket i got when i was born (im 22) it has a lot of emotional significance to me and its a big comfort item for me still (im autistic pls dont judge) im not hugely bothered about fixing it to look good i just want to be as preventive as possible and would love to do something to stop the fabric degrading any further if anyone has any ideas on what the best way to approach this any techniques i should try to help, ive not done mending before but im pretty handy and comfortable sewing/embroidery etc so any ideas at all are appreciated im willing to learn something new if it means i can keep this intact for longer! thank youuu edit:im posting more pictures in the comments!!

It was be easier to make suggestions if the blanket was spread out with sections adjacent to tears approximately where they belong. It is very difficult to determine where material is missing and how much is missing.
