LO 2 was 2 when she picked out a special animal from big sister's collection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2579159 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:52:36 +0000 BSB 2579159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At almost 10 months, they don't really have a particular lovey. They have about 6 things in their crib and more scattered around the house. Maybe that's why they aren't attached to anything because we have so many chewy things all over the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517308 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 13:10:24 +0000 PawPrints 2517308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD took to hers almost right away after we introduced it at 4.5 months. It's a little Jellycat dinosaur. She developed a habit of twirling its arm around her finger as a self-soothing ritual when she's falling asleep. We can hand her the dino almost any time if she's upset and she'll grab it and calm down a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517067 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:52:11 +0000 youboots 2517067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 11 mo- her stuffed rabbit Bun Bun. We had been encouraging it for a couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517065 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:50:40 +0000 jhd 2517065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got attached to a stuffed giraffe around 10 months. Now he has a different stuffed animal that he likes. He's had it since last summer, but has become even more attached in the last two months. His kitty has to go absolutely everywhere with him. He's turning two at the end of this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517059 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:47:41 +0000 MrsB2012 2517059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest got attached to her ducky young, maybe 6-7 months? She will be 3 in July and she would be devastated if she lost it. Unfortunately you can't buy them anymore :( ( well, unless I wanted to spend like $200 for one on ebay!)</p> <p>My youngest is 14 months and has never taken to anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517045 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:34:24 +0000 Alba4 2517045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517028 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:26:47 +0000 Mamaof2 2517028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS - right around a year</p> <p>DD - never </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2517020 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:24:37 +0000 wrkbrk 2517020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: This may not be the same thing but over the past few weeks our 4.5 month old seems to know it's time to nap if I give him one particular bunny! So I am liking this! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516991 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 10:10:35 +0000 BeachMama 2516991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say maybe 6 months? Definitely by 8 or 9. Both my kids are very attached to their lovies. And they both like to chew/suck on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516936 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:35:08 +0000 yellowbird 2516936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter never took to one. She had a pacifier and that was more of her lovey than anything. My son took to his lovey around 10 months. He loves snuggling it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516893 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:14:17 +0000 Adira 2516893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander started getting attached to things around 18m. Logan on the other hand started getting attached around 12m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516890 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:13:32 +0000 runnerd 2516890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20mo old doesn't have a lovey, never did. (Unless you count his bottle) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516889 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:13:19 +0000 sslm 2516889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over a year... she didn't get attached to it until she went to daycare and had it for naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516887 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:12:19 +0000 nana87 2516887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 2 year old isn't particularly attached to any one lovey in particular. she has a bunch in her crib that she cuddles with while she's falling asleep, but she rarely takes them out. she doesn't take any to daycare, though they have stuffed animals there that I'm pretty sure she sleeps with. Honestly she's more attached to my hair than any of her loveys, but obviously she doesn't take that everywhere :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516864 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:01:09 +0000 mrswin 2516864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: My DD is the same age and doesn't seem to really care about her lovey that much and like you said it often end up at the other side of the crib. I will say in the last couple of days I have noticed her paying more attention to it so I just keep giving t to her in the hopes that she eventually decided she "loves" it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516858 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 08:55:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2516858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think after she weaned around 9 months (she has had it since at least 6 months). She got more and more attached and now at 16 mo lovey is with her all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-take-to-their-lovey#post-2516849 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 08:49:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 2516849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our oldest has loved her "bankie' since about 12 months but our youngest is 12 months and could careless about any item. I've tried to give her a lovey and it's usually in the other corner of the crib or on the ground when we wake up. I honestly think her "lovey" is her thumb (not loving this and hoping to replace that thumb with something else to soothe her!) </p>
