A lovey is a mini-blanket meant to be used by a baby or toddler for calming & self-soothing. The ideal lovey is soft, not too big, & doesn't make any noise. When your little one starts walking, you'll find that the lovey is small enough that it doesn't get dragged on the ground. It's also the perfect size to tuck into a diaper bag or purse; Scent is a powerful soother. Mom (or caregiver) should sleep with the lovey for a couple of nights before transferring it to baby. The scent of the loved one will comfort baby during the night, during naptimes, while away from the caregiver, or in distressing times like learning a new skill or traveling. When we adopted our son, my husband & I slept with a couple of loveys close to our skin for several nights, then gave them to our son when we visited him in Guatemala at 2 months & 6 months of age. By the time we were able to bring him home at 11 months of age, he was fully attached to them... & remained attached to them through age 4! He carried them everywhere, slept with them, & slid the edges through his thumb & forefinger to calm himself. Pro tip: Have two loveys that are exactly alike so that when one is in the wash, your little one has another to hold onto. Use them equally since little ones are sensitive to smell & touch, & they'll prefer one over the other if they aren't equally used. Are there other uses for loveys? Loveys can be soothing for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, or with certain special needs. The different textures can be calming & keep hands busy. Loveys can be wonderful memorials of loved ones that have passed... something soft to snuggle with when remembering the loved one. As someone who's lost multiple babies to miscarriage, I know how comforting it is to have something to hold when mourning the loss. Loveys can be beautiful as home decor. They're small, & they look cute hanging up on a wall, as a table topper for a tiny side table, or tossed over the back of a chair. This lovey is ready to ship. It will ship for free
