We had 2 but the dog ate one and I've not replaced it yet 😣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799827 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 21:50:46 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2799827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like that DS has stayed attached to his A+A mini blanket in the 2 pack. We have 6 I think total somewhere and they’re like $20 for 2. It’s compact and soft, washes so well, and he loves the silk edge. He has a jellycat puppy and a million other animals but blankie is the one and only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799823 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 21:39:18 +0000 wrkbrk 2799823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have chosen a jellycat (and did - lol, he has four) but he’s taken to his blanket and a very ugly, stiff bear that has a creepy lullaby from MIL. Of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799801 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:32:05 +0000 jhd 2799801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all the cute little loveys but LO has been obsessed with a Katerina Kittycat stuffed animal since he picked her out at ToysRUs when he was just over 1. She goes everywhere with him. I think it drives my ILs crazy that he loves a cat wearing a dress because MIL buys him stuffed animals of his favorite characters several times per year! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799768 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 15:03:26 +0000 LCTBQE 2799768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: aw, raffy! my husband and I kept calling it lovey, but the baby ignored us and named it himself: he calls it (and now we do too) "nigh-nigh". As in night-night :heart: its soooo cuuuute. That was back in the day when it only lived in the crib. I've been keeping an eye out for a different animal for baby #2, too :) I don't think any of them are as cute as the giraffe though.<br /> And great point about jelly cats washing badly and getting ratty and not being as easy to replace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799681 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 12:08:15 +0000 IRunForFun 2799681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This Lolli Living one only because I think it's adorable. </p> <p>But DD is one and a thumb sucker and really early on became attached to her super cheap white Gerber burp rag/cloth diaper inserts. We did absolutely nothing to encourage it, but that's just what she went for! I mean fine by me, they're crazy cheap and we've got like 10 of them. So far she doesn't discriminate between them. 🤷‍♀️ </p> [attach=3557/18/p34flr.337x600.IMG_5225.PNG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799655 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 11:07:05 +0000 jape14 2799655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: that's exactly it! luckily he explained which one was which so we can identify it as well. the other two he very generously deems mommy's and daddy's "dog dogs" (he has the fox one but he named it dog dog) and loans them out when we are snuggling. he can also tell the difference between his two elmos and will let little sister hold/have his non-preferred elmo. kids are so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799651 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:56:49 +0000 Shantuck 2799651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also love the Angel Dear lovies in our house and we buy them in the twin packs off of Amazon. I like that I can still buy the one I bought my now 5 year old all these years later in case we lose all of them (we have 4 so not sure how that would happen!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799649 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:42:17 +0000 Mommy Finger 2799649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boys thankfully got attached to their A&amp;A security blankets.

We bought 6, and he knew it - he loved having one in bed, one in the car, etc.... and would just ask for "extra bunny" if one was in the wash. <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60266577/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60266577/</a></p> <p>I never had to scramble to find it so he could fall asleep at night, or run panicked to the store because it was lost or dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799647 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:39:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 2799647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had this duck from Moulin Roty (French brand) as her lovey.

She's loved them since she was only a few months old and still is crazy about them at almost 2. We can switch the prints out and she doesn't seem to care, she just loves that one side is satiny and one side fuzzy. <a href="https://babyjackandcompany.com/products/2016-forest-friends-lovey" rel="nofollow">https://babyjackandcompany.com/products/2016-forest-friends-lovey</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799643 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:33:00 +0000 MaryM 2799643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd vote for blankets. More in general than any particular one. They're easy enough to replace, and easy to have multiples of so there aren't meltdowns if one gets lost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799642 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:24:14 +0000 petitenoisette 2799642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has this goodnight moon lovey : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Goodnight-Moon-Blanky-and-Rabbit/dp/B0076CDN9U/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1516893721&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=goodnight+moon+lovey" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Goodnight-Moon-Blanky-and-Rabbit/dp/B0076CDN9U/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1516893721&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=goodnight+moon+lovey</a> </p> <p>It washes up really well and I like that we could easily get a replacement if necessary. But best of all, her paci can be tucked into it's little arms which is nice for transportation - it goes back and forth between our house and grandma's twice a week (but it's not like a wubbanub where it stays in there while she's got the paci in her mouth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799640 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:14:50 +0000 sungirl 2799640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS2 is a thumbsucker and at 3.5 still has never taken to a lovey...he sleeps with stuffed animals but doesn't have a major attachment to them.

He usually has two in his bed - thankfully they are all interchangeable. I have to keep them hidden when they are clean, otherwise he will literally take every single one (I think I have 6 or 7) and put them all in his bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799632 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 09:19:50 +0000 josina 2799632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got DD this one for Christmas, she's 11 months so not attached to anything yet though, but here's hoping!

For a while my son had a favorite one of his 3 because he knew which tag was the most worn. He lovvvves running the tag through his fingers. Eventually it became so shredded that it wasn’t soft anymore and he then decided to focus on a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799610 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 07:29:35 +0000 SweetiePie 2799610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AngelDear. They are easy to find, not crazy expensive and wash well (personally I think JellyCats are amazingly cute and soft and we have many, but don’t wash well and start to look ratty. Harder to replace if they are attached to the original beat up looking one. So we don’t use as a lovey, he just likes them to sleep/play with). </p> <p>@LCTBQE: awwww my guy has the giraffe angel dear too. We call him Raffy. ❤️<br /> We have 3 as well. But he knows he has 3 and we never tried to trick him so he doesn’t care which one he has. He does like to sleep with 2 of them now but if one is being washed he’s ok with just 1.<br /> We keep one in the car and he calls it his “car raffy”😂<br /> We started at 6 months when our ped said it would be a good time to introduce one and it really was great for us.<br /> For impending DS2 we got the monkey angel dear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-any-lovey-for-your-little-one#post-2799609 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 07:27:23 +0000 jape14 2799609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: same.
