She never really took to an A&amp;A Blanket, even though I used them often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683742 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:10:30 +0000 PurplePeony 1683742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two Angel Dear loveys (puppy and monkey) and two Jellycat ones (teddy bear and bunny). Personally, I like the Jellycats because they're actual animals holding blankets instead of "stuffed heads," which I find kind of creepy. But DD prefers the texture of the Angel Dear ones (they also have pinched corners, which she likes to chew on). I introduced the loveys in a rotation while nursing around 4 months because she needed her hands occupied, but she didn't really care about any of them until after 5 months. I would sometimes let her fall asleep with it but take it away once she was sleeping. In the past week or so, though, she's been snuggling her lovey close and I haven't always been able to get it away from her. Tonight, she's sleeping on her tummy for the first time (she was practicing rolling and finally passed out after three hours) on top of Monkey and I'm a little freaked out...but I don't dare move her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683737 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:05:41 +0000 Sophs Mama 1683737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The aden and anais blankets are lovely, but I'd get the bamboo ones, they are soooo much softer. Our daughter didn't take to hers until she was well over a year, and even now she prefers her jellycat bunny or her winnie the pooh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683725 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 01:46:15 +0000 shopaholic 1683725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Introduced the Angel Dear lovey around 3 months. She really became aware and attached to it around 7 months I think? It's definitely a comfort and sleep cue for her now. We have 5 of them and about to order another 1-2 for back-up and traveling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683700 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 00:32:07 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1683700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: oh cool! That's good to know!</p> <p>Just told DH about all this motn shopping and he's like, "uh oh. When is this sleep regression over with again? " Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683697 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 00:26:37 +0000 Emsmems 1683697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: yes, we are having a rough night too. I have no idea why though, we were improving... But not tonight</p> <p>Amazon warehouse is where open box or damaged packaging is sold for cheaper! On amazon's home page (go to the full site if on your phone) at the very bottom is has links to all of amazon's sites. Warehouse is one. Then once you go there, click on baby on the left hand side. You can then search by brand (what I usually do), or just look through the stuff! In the case of the a&amp;a stuff I got (security blankets, bibs, and a sleepsack), the cardboard was all dinged up but the actual product was fine!</p> <p>ETA: here's the link since I have the time</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=wdnav_baby?ie=UTF8&#038;me=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&#038;rh=i%3Amerchants%2Cn%3A165796011&#038;pf_rd_m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&#038;pf_rd_s=browse&#038;pf_rd_r=1KRMCYVJSY73H2ET56VN&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1770938942&#038;pf_rd_i=1267877011" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=wdnav_baby?ie=UTF8&#038;me=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&#038;rh=i%3Amerchants%2Cn%3A165796011&#038;pf_rd_m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&#038;pf_rd_s=browse&#038;pf_rd_r=1KRMCYVJSY73H2ET56VN&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1770938942&#038;pf_rd_i=1267877011</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683669 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 23:58:44 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1683669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: wait, what?? Amazon warehouse? What is that? Have I been missing something!?</p> <p>PS: are you up with your LO too? She hit her magical 3 hour sleep time so I'm nursing her back to sleep. It took her an hour to go to sleep tonight, ugh. I think she's teething because she had a 99.9 fever and was just super cranky today! She took a lap nap today, a first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683665 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 23:53:33 +0000 Emsmems 1683665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I saw the animal ones, I thought about those but decided he'd probably like the plain blanket just as well! I got the bamboo ones on amazon (actually on amazon warehouse)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683655 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 23:42:13 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1683655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: did you give her both or did you try one and it didn't "take" so you tried the other?</p> <p>I'm thinking of giving it to her while she eats and see if she likes holding it, then when we transition out of the merlin suit and sleep train, giving it to her to hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683654 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 23:39:57 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1683654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: haha, that's so weird that we are doing this at the same time! Twinsies! Lol.</p> <p>I have a+a blankets in my amazon cart. Did you know that they have a+a blankets with animal heads? They're pretty cute! I have the bamboo swaddle blankets and they're heavenly. Where did you get the bamboo security blankets? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683602 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:51:50 +0000 singingbee 1683602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping lo would want an a and a blanket as a Lovey, but she prefers this lamb that has a head and then a blanket for the body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683601 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:51:25 +0000 immabeetoo 1683601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced an a a lovey at 5 months and it clicked after maybe a month. It is indispensable now as a toddler! He only gets it in his crib and he's obsessed. Makes nap and bed time so much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683573 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:33:43 +0000 Emsmems 1683573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird, we are like the same person sometimes, it's kinda creepy! I just bought the a&amp;a security blankets for DS. I got the bamboo ones, they are softer than the regular ones! I used to swaddle him with an A&amp;A blanket for naps and he would suck on it, but now that I can't swaddle him (since he's rolling), I thought the lovey would be a good substitute! I just put them in the wash so I haven't given one to DS yet, but hoping he will like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683555 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:26:34 +0000 mrsjyw 1683555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds loves his a&amp;a security blankets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683551 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:24:14 +0000 Boheme 1683551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two Angel Dear loveys and DS adores them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-loveys#post-1683547 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:21:33 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1683547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about getting DD a lovey soon so she can have something to hold onto for sleep and feeding. She really likes to hold her own hands or my fingers or her feet when she's breastfeeding and I was thinking maybe there's something that would replicate that feeling that would make a good lovey. I don't even know if that's really important. I was thinking of getting those Aden+Anais security blankets since they're small and lightweight. </p>
