At what age would you let your child sleep with a lovey, and what is the lovey you'd let them have?
-
She started sleeping with an Angel Dear stuffed-head-on-a-blankie at 6 months. By 10-11 months I felt comfortable letting her have regular stuffed animals, too. She has a whole menagerie at this point.

I let him sleep with a blanket with head type one from about 6 months when Id seen he was able to remove things from his face. He had it for naps only for a few weeks and I would watch like a hawk on the monitor til I was comfortable!

I'm a nervous Nellie so I think we'll wait until a year. She has a jelly cats puppy blanket that she loves which will work.

@FaithFertility:
Our monthly thread got me thinking about this. I really don't recall when I gave one to C. And I let K have one in her RnP or in our bed. But I'm unsure about the crib.
-
She sleeps right next to me or during naps we watch her on the monitor so she's been sleeping with her lovey since 4 mo. She does like to throw it on top of her face though! I'm hoping it will be a tool for her to self sooth when we ST!

We have a little monkey made of a breathable mesh material that I'd be ok with him sleeping with now at 6.5m.
-
We use the A&A security blankets. I liked that they were breathable. I tested him before I let him have it in his crib. Basically, I put the lovey over his face and watched to see if he would take it off right away. The first few times, he didn't but somewhere between 5-6 months he did. That's how I got comfortable.
-
We started at 5 months. We started with A&A security blankets and then around 6 months introduced an angel dear lovey.
-
I think I started putting a lovey in the crib around 9 months or so but I don't remember exactly...she doesn't fall asleep with it, but she plays with it when she wakes up
-
E's had a wubbanub lovey since she was born. Around 8/9 months, we introduced a Jelly Cat giraffe into her crib.
-
We started with an Angel Dear lovey around 4 months when we sleep trained. I was a little nervous at first but our ped okayed it (when we mentioned we were going to start sleep training she said "you know it's fine to give him a lovey, right?")
-
DD had her lovey from 3 months old and it was okay. DS is almost 5 months and hasn't taken to it yet.
