Brilliant! I had never heard of that- thank you! @Mrs Green Grass: Ah, smart! I'm not sure we've pulled out the A&As since he swaddle weaned - I wonder if we used it more he would have attached to it! Thanks for this idea! @erind425: Oh great idea! He's at the 'get really antsy and somewhat whiney' stage of diaper changes but he is beginning to get freaked by bathroom/outside the home diaper changes. This is a great idea - thanks so much! @catlady: ok, good to know! I also kind of want to help him select the lovey, lol, so it's not something insane! I will try holding and then placing it next to him directly -thanks! @pregnantbee: that's good to know about the multiples! perhaps if I just happen to have them around a lot, he'll eventually gravitate/decide on his own. thanks! @Anagram: yes, same same ones! and that's freaking adorable. @FaithFertility: oh the carseat is a great idea! he already loves to play with/put in his mouth the stroller blanket we use, so this could be a natural transition. thank you!

At first, she didn't care about it either way, but around 9-10 months, she began to get really attached. Now, at 19 months, it's like a bedtime treat for her to get her blankey and paci at the same time. She gets SO excited to see them and immediately cuddles up with them. pregnantbee on "What's the best way to successfully introduce a lovey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-way-to-successfully-introduce-a-lovey#post-2121139 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 10:37:53 +0000 pregnantbee 2121139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I also never tried very hard. He took to it most after we weaned off the pacifier around age 2. But, man, is my almost 3 yo still attached to his lovey. We have an Angel Dear one....and actually probably have about 6? He doesn't freak out if he sees more than 1 at the same time. He loves them all equally. catlady on "What's the best way to successfully introduce a lovey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-way-to-successfully-introduce-a-lovey#post-2121115 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 10:19:46 +0000 catlady 2121115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had alot of trouble introducing a lovey at first but now she actually has two. The way we tried was to have me hold the lovey while she'd nurse, and then we'd put it in her crib with her afterwards. We tried A&A swaddles first, then a toy similar to the angel dear ones, and neither of those worked. At some point, I decided to try again with a jellycat and she finally took to it. But at the same time, she also become attached to a different stuffed toy on her own (I actually dislike that one so I was definitely not encouraging her!). So I'm not really sure if my method worked at all or if she was just ready to find one on her own and happened to like the jellycat that I chose. jape14 on "What's the best way to successfully introduce a lovey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-way-to-successfully-introduce-a-lovey#post-2121071 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 09:52:08 +0000 jape14 2121071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Is he at the freak-out-during-diaper-changes stage yet? We successfully introduced a lovey for nighttime sleep/naps around 4.5 months without much effort, but we've recently started giving it to him during diaper change freakouts and it works great then then too. (He's almost 7 months.) I've also been giving it to him in the car on the way home from our nanny share (he hates the car) and it helps then too. (We have multiple of the angel dear loveys, probably similar to the A&A ones.)

It's really nice though because all of his A&A blankets are interchangeable as a lovey. He doesn't just need one specific one. Bubbles on "What's the best way to successfully introduce a lovey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-way-to-successfully-introduce-a-lovey#post-2121053 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 09:43:01 +0000 Bubbles 2121053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ First of all I slept with it for a few nights to try and make it smell of me. Then we had it during feedings, and I'd put it in the cot with him for naps and at bedtime (I took it out when we went to bed for a while). We introduced it around 5 months, but I wouldn't say he really started to love it until about 9 or 10 months. It doesn't come out of the cot but he gets a lot of comfort from it now at 15mo. snowjewelz on "What's the best way to successfully introduce a lovey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-way-to-successfully-introduce-a-lovey#post-2121043 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 09:39:47 +0000 snowjewelz 2121043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I haven't introduced one yet but another thing I read was to sleep with it yourself so your scent is all over it!

I recently bought Will an A&A lovey, in an effort to help him have something to calm down with to nap (working on naptime over here!) I have a Jellycat (rhino) too that we've had since birth, which I thought would be his lovey but I'm wondering if the blanket will work better. I've heard the following works, but I'd love additional insights: 1. hold the lovey during feedings 2. offer every nap 3. offer when crying/upset namaste on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1678130 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:02:41 +0000 namaste 1678130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH would laugh and probably shake his head since this is a common occurrence. I might have the occasional accident a bit too often. He would then come over and make sure I am ok while telling me to be careful.

"Well, what'd you do that for?" Or "Bet that hurt, didn't it?"

Sometimes he's great, sometimes he laughs. I guess I do the same to him :silly: Applesandbananas on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1676587 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:02:25 +0000 Applesandbananas 1676587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He would've laughed and been like "there's a keyboard tray there". But to be fair, that's exactly what I'd do to him.

Not helpful :meh: Grace on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1676574 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:56:42 +0000 Grace 1676574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mom was like that when I was growing up. If we hurt ourselves, she would say "well that was stupid". My dad and my DH are much better at it.

How I want my DH to react.. .... [attach=3040/14/n6md23.233x216.panic1.jpeg] .....and how he actually reacts.. [attach=3040/14/n6md3q.290x166.Spuns-Skeptical-Baby-290x166.jpg] Although,in all fairness.. if I am actually hurt/sick he is the BEST nurse ever. He just waits to see if its an actual injury... or me just being dramatic (I get pretty loud when I stub my toe..) lovehoneybee on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1676561 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:50:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 1676561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @.twist.: Haha D would have totally laughed at me! He would have then quickly made sure I was okay, but he totally would have laughed! gingerbebe on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1676554 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:48:42 +0000 gingerbebe 1676554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH has a complete fit if I hurt myself in any way, but he's also a drama queen when he gets hurt. If I fall or something he will run over screaming "OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU OKAY!??!" If he himself falls he will holler and scream all the way to the ground. In truth, its pretty hilarious. irene on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1676530 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:41:53 +0000 irene 1676530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just read this. haha. To make you feel better, my husband is HORRIBLE on "comforting". If I were in your situation, he'd say this: how could you have possibly done that. Why can't you be more careful? Why is there even a toy there in the first place? If you have picked it up this wouldn't have happened. Took me many years to suck it up. Now I don't even say anything if I hurt myself and he's around. I know. I don't know what the heck is wrong with him too. So..... feel better! :) .twist. on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1665353 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:19:55 +0000 .twist. 1665353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrbee: haha seriously! He's lucky it was on my forehead and I don't want a band-aid there, otherwise I would have made him get me one! ;) @nana87: Sounds like my DH too. He is so dramatic (LOL, coming from the girl who created a bit of drama herself this am!). I used to get annoyed and say "Why don't you ask if I'm ok?" and he just relies "well, you're clearly not ok". hahaha nana87 on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1665340 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:16:38 +0000 nana87 1665340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dh is also really bad at comforting me when I get hurt! If he hurts something, the whole world needs to stop (seriously-- he once got pissy w me and called his mother for sympathy instead when I apparently wasn't sympathetic enough when he stubbed his toe. His freaking toe.). But if I get hurt, I need to actively ask for help-- I've burned myself before and still had to google burn protocol myself, because when I asked him what to do he said he didn't know and went back to whatever he was doig. Siiiigh! mrbee on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1665338 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:16:19 +0000 mrbee 1665338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @.twist.: He should have kissed the booboo, put a bandaid on it and then given you ice for it!! Ah man, our kids have it so good and they don't even know it... Hope you feel better now! snowjewelz on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1665336 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:15:59 +0000 snowjewelz 1665336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DH would laugh too and then try to comfort me lol. He has def gotten better! He was so bad at it when we first started dating so it took a lot of communicating so that he understands what I need from him in terms of comfort and consolation. autumnlove on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1665326 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:11:47 +0000 autumnlove 1665326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DH would laugh. He isn't very good at stuff like that! .twist. on "Is your SO good at comforting you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-at-comforting-you#post-1665313 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:07:11 +0000 .twist. 1665313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So, this morning I did something really stupid. L threw a toy under my desk. The keyboard tray was extended, and my depth perception was, apparently, off. I smacked my forehead right in the corner of the tray. Which is metal. It hurt so bad I kinda lost my breath and cried a little. DH watched the whole thing happen. As I sat on the floor pouting all he did was say "OUCH" and then, after I stopped whining he came over and moved my head and looked at it and said "well, it's not bleeding!" I was kind of hoping he would be all "OMG ARE YOU OK? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU MIGHT DIE? SHOULD I TAKE YOU TO EMERG? CALL 911?" I should update him on boo-boo protocol. He failed. How would your SO have dealt with that kind of situation?

I haven't heard of that Bible study, but will most definitely look into it! Happy to hear that scripture is helpful for you, too! Blessings and prayers to you!
