Oh interesting! I think I’ll give it a try. For now I’ve been putting it in my daughters hands and she kind of just throws it ?

Benefits from what I understand is the lovie is a good transitional object and sleep cue/ comfort object. So instead of a pacifier or nursing to sleep you give the baby a lovie instead which is better in the long run. I'm just hoping it works for me, my LO is addicted to the pacifier for sleep and wakes up needing it at night?

Aww! My husband is trying hard lol. He bought her a pink fluffy owl and he wants her to have it all the time, and sleep with it.

My two year old loves them. I started to give her one to sleep with starting around 5 months and she would suck on it to go to sleep. She still needs one now. It was really great to find something for her to self soothe with. I think the new guy might end up liking them too.

I’m not sure the benefits but I have one that my DD is becoming really interested in. I’ll post a pic!

Oh interesting! What are the benefits of using this? My sister got one for my daughter and not sure how or what to use it for?

Biggest tip I can get is buy at least four the same. You won’t believe the heart break when one is misplaced or needs washing

It sounds weird but get your smell on it! They find it comforting if it smells like mom :)

Awwww I am! We’ve been introducing it since birth. He hasn’t become attached yet, but he does chew on it. Lol

Shes so adorable ???I think it’s soooo cute to see babies with their blankets n I can see how it calms them but I’ve seen how my sister sometimes struggles with her kids. They sometimes forget the blanket n her kids are super fussy n refuse to nap. I also provided counseling services to a 6th grader that was not able to get rid of his blanket n took it to school everyday. He started getting bullied as he got older n it was very tough for him. I guess it has its pros n cons! I’m still thinking about it ?

@violet557 my mother gave me a "baby bear" growing up and she gave me these tips and I'm using them.

Bring the lovie everywhere with you and baby, even if he/She doesn't attach right off the bat.

Sleep with the lovie for a few days or week and wear it so it smells like you.

Give the lovie during feedings, naps and bedtime (remove for unsupervised sleep til 5 or 6 months).

Buy 2 if it is a unique one.

I personally got this one because, the trunk of the elephant can be sucked on, it's soft fleece and silk so different textures. I got the blanket double one because she loves to rub her face in blankets.

I hope the lovey works! Because I want to ditch the pacifier early

I have been thinking about doing this. Any pointers?? My two older kids never took to one, but Lark seems to love rubbing blankets and clothes on her face and chewing on them.
