She's super attached to it still at 26 months. She's chosen a few more since then that also sleep with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158979 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 20:09:10 +0000 MenagerieMama 2158979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: My LO looooves measuring cups too! I will actually attach them with her plastic links to the stroller or car seat sometimes, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158740 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:40:57 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2158740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2 very thin blankets that my mom bought that I started putting in the crib with my daughter when she started flipping over and sleeping on her tummy (around 7 months). I was using them to cover her up gently, but she would toss around and after a while they turned into loveys. Those are still her cues to sleep (she's almost 2). One is starting to get holes from all the wear and I can't find the same one anywhere so hopefully it lasts a while still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158733 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:37:13 +0000 ShootingStar 2158733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: The other night he was sleeping on his stomach with his hands under his head, still holding a measuring cup. It was really funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158731 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:36:33 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2158731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I love your scientific method! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158730 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:36:20 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2158730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: That would be convenient if he picks those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158728 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:35:47 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2158728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158721 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:30:22 +0000 JessKas 2158721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter became attached to a specific blanket around 4-5 months. It was a gift and I didn't really like it and tried to introduce another lovey but she wasn't having it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158643 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:16:22 +0000 lamariniere 2158643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote.</p> <p>LO1 - I tried to introduce a lovey several times and he wasn't interested until he was 18 months! It was a teddy bear that I picked. After that, he also got interested in an AA lovey and an AA swaddle (I picked those too).</p> <p>LO2 - Again, I tried introducing one really young, around 4 months. She's almost 18 months and isn't interested at all.</p> <p>@ShootingStar: haha, that's funny, but probably not comfortable to sleep with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158502 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:06:27 +0000 travellingbee 2158502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to vote for two because I chose one but he didn't take to it. He picked his own later. I chose a A&amp;A lovey but he decided on a Wubanub. He doesn't suck on it, just holds it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158499 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:04:21 +0000 ShootingStar 2158499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My child's kind of a weirdo. I had a bunch of those little lovey blankies and he wanted nothing to do with them. Instead he's started getting really attached to plastic spoons and measuring cups. I don't really get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158497 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:00:56 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2158497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose an angel dear lovey that I tucked btwn us while nursing from about 6 weeks on...Now at almost 3 he still loves his 'Roo' but also has an owl that he attached to on his own. Sleeps with both and they def comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158490 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:56:46 +0000 mrsjyw 2158490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked the A&amp;A security blankets. Ds took to it the first month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158487 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:55:35 +0000 jhd 2158487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him a Sophie giraffe and it came with a stuffed animal giraffe also. Around 10 or 11 months he decided that was what he wanted to sleep with. He has other loveys and he likes them, but for some reason that giraffe is what he likes to cuddle when he goes to sleep. Before that he loved his Wubbanubs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158474 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:47:10 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2158474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked a couple different stuffed animals and he couldn't care less. His A&amp;A blankets became his loveys and it's so convenient (because I have 8 of them...he's partial to stars, but he'll take a different one when it needs to be washed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158396 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:06:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 2158396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked. I laid all of them over my face and chose the most breathable one :) I actually hesitated because it was not my favorite cuteness-wise but I went for safety! </p> <p>I voted that she wasn't interested but it just took time. She would snuggle him but she would also snuggle anything else. We just kept at it and it really came in handy when we started daycare at 10 months. Now she is very attached to him though if he wanders off for a day or two she's totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158357 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:48:35 +0000 blackbird 2158357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked them out for her before she was born and she's been using them since. She's now 2. She has attached herself to other items, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158347 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:42:46 +0000 BeachMama 2158347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a lovey for her when we sleep trained and she took to it, and now at 3 still sleeps with it and uses it for comfort. It's an Angel Dear purple hippo lovey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/picking-a-lovey#post-2158344 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:40:49 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2158344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some really sweet stuffed animals and the little blanket official lovey things. But I like the idea of him picking his own! But does it really help comfort them in the crib? Cause in that case I am guessing I would start around 6 mo with close supervision at first. Ive read some posts about introducing them by holding it when you nurse them, mama sleeping with it, etc. </p> <p>One more thing to overthink! </p>
