This is Owen's lovie

He likes to clutch it when he's falling asleep. And sometimes smack himself in the face with it. I wonder if he'll stick with it or move to something soft and snuggly when he's old enough to have that type of thing in the crib.

Re: This is Owen's lovie

  • What is that? Where can I get it?

  • We have that, just in different colors.  Ian loved it.

    Now he loves the blanket my sister in law made for him (he's holding it in my sig pic).  He chews on it so much that I have to wash it every other day.

  • It's the Manhattan Toy Winkel. Has a little jingly rattle inside.

  • I really enjoy the description

    Colorful loops made from soft, pliable plastic are easy to grasp and hold, plus caregivers can refrigerate it for a soothing teether.

    Babies should not refrigerate this product....only certified caregivers can handle that responsibility

  • No duh, babies can leave the fridge door open to spoil the breastmilk.

  • I wonder if Ethan could actually maneuver that into his own mouth. His current favorite teether is a burp rag wrapped around my finger.

  • I bet he could. It's easy for them to grasp the sides and get their mouth around one of the loops.

    Good. That's usually his problem. He can never get things turned the right way to go in his mouth

  • PS I like your new siggy.

  • Miles has no lovie.  He sleeps all by his lonesome, nothing in the crib with him.  Am I cruel? 

    Also - when am I allowed to introduce a blanket into the crib with him?  Google tells me never because it will kill my child...is this correct?

  • I think I started letting Mags have a blanket around 13 months. She had her lovie earlier, maybe 10 mos?

  • Thanks Kristen!  Perhaps I'll introduce a lovie soon.

  • I'm a terrible parent, Connor slept with a blanket way earlier than a year. He also had a pillow before a year as well.  He never really cared for lovies, but those blankets that are furry soft on one side and silky on the other side - he could not get enough of those.  He called them his baby forever and HAD to have one all the time.  We still aren't totally past that phase.

  • Our ped was fine with a blanket after 6 months, but we just recently started leaving them in overnight.

    Dimi's favorite lovies are his socks. He'll stick one in his mouth and parade around the living room, giggling.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Ian's slept with a blanket since about four months old.  At any given time, he's got two or three in his crib.  He likes to lie on the living room floor with his head on a pillow, so I'm thinking of getting him one of his own soon.
