Best of the Best Lovies for your Baby
All three of my kids each have their own little security blankets. They sleep better with them and it provides then with a sense of comfort when they are away at Grandma’s or while traveling. We gave each of them a lovie when we felt they were either 1. ready or 2. old enough (don’t forget abut the SIDS warnings!).
But if I can give you one bit of advice about lovies? Once your child latches onto a favorite, buy two or three more just like it! I’ll never forget my frantic search for my 1st son’s “B” when he misplaced it one day.
Luckily, we found it but then I wasn’t so lucky when I decided to try and buy a second one… 2 years later. That blanket was impossible to find! A friend of mine actually spotted the exact one on eBay and I bid like I had won the lottery (aka spent way too much money) on a tiny little replica of my son’s favorite blanket.
Oh the things we do for our kids and our sanity. Having extra lovies helps when you need to wash one (and forget that it’s in the washer at nap time), or when one gets lost or damaged. Just remember to hide the replacements or you might have a young child that wants all of them at the same time. Can you tell I’ve been there?
Here are some amazing lovies that we love (or want for myself):

Gasp! You didn’t mention the bunnies by the bay blankies/snuggies/lovey. They are awesome 🙂
I’m surprised you didn’t include “Happy Blankie”! My twins can’t live without theirs. They come in various sizes and wash very well. The company was founded by a child (great success story). Furthermore, when you purchase one blankie for your child, you are then given an additional blankie to donate to a charity (which you choose from on their site). Check out their products at happyblankie.com
=a good karma purchase!
