    @Cherrybee: we are introducing a lovey now, but a projector sounds cool. Which one do you have?

    @Mrs squirreld: It's the Tomy Starlight Dreamshow, or something. It plays awful plinky plonky lullabies and projects this dreadful garish pattern on the ceiling but she watches it and falls asleep before it turns itself off every time.

    @delight: No, but I really need to get on it! I want to get the A&A but I have gift cards to BRU so I want to get one there, and every time I'm there I'm rushed and can't find it in the aisles or anyone to help me. We've completely given up on the pacifier now (she started rejecting them, though still takes the bottle just fine) and now her thumb is her go to. Ah well. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it [thumb weaning].

    I picked up this for her yesterday. Not sure how it will go, but it's hella cute

    @Cherrybee: that projector sounds so neat!

    @Cherrybee: haha I resurrected this thread because of a comment I saw from @Mrs squirreld: earlier this morning about introducing a lovey! I was starting to think that it was about time to actually let LO have hers in the crib.

    @.twist.: aren't they so so cute? I have a list going for first birthday presents and just added those Loveys. I think they'd be nice to keep at daycare for nap time. Plus I have a million other A&A things, what's one more?

    @Mrs squirreld: like I said, I looked up this thread because you mentioned earlier this morning about introducing a lovey. I think your LO is just a bit younger than mine (6m). Do you have any worries about a lovey in the crib? I get super paranoid easily when it comes to her and sleeping. I'm trying not to check on her overnight and during naps so I almost feel if I let her have it, I'll be checking on her more. Although I guess the A&A ones are completely breathable. What kind of lovey do you have?

    @Mrs squirreld: @Cherrybee: DS has a dreamlite...has had it for a few years and it's always been great for bedtime. He even has already bought (well, I bought it...he just had the idea and picked it out) one for LO, because he wants the baby to have something to help him sleep at night, too.

    @delight: Yeah, LO is 4.5 months old. He has great head control and can roll both ways so I'm not too worried. I've been reading a few books that between 4 & 6 months is the best time to introduce. To begin with he'll just have it at feed times and to fall asleep (which I'm usually watching him on the monitor) and then I'll take it away until I'm 100% sure he can move it about on his own. He also has a breathing monitor attached to him for all naps so we'd know straight away if his breathing slowed down too much, but I doubt it would come to that! I'm made my own for him and it's just from light towel material - a totally breathable fabric

    Not sure how the price compares, but Dreamlites are on Zulily right now:

    This is why I love HB!! LO isn't born yet but has already been gifted FIVE loveys!! At least now I have some ideas on when and how to introduce him to one.
