TIPS : how to get the most out of your lovey!

1. When you first get your lovey home, sleep with it in your own bed for 1-2 nights to transfer your scent before giving it to your little one. Near your pillow is best! To fast track this process, put the lovey inside your shirt and walk around with it for the day.

2. Put the lovey between you and your baby when you bottle feed or nurse. This helps them associate the lovey with an already comforting time.

3. Practice helping your baby find the satin ribbon on their lovey. Babies like to rub the ribbon on their lips or between their fingers to calm themselves quickly.

4. Play peek-a-boo with your baby using the lovey.

5. Consider getting a backup if your baby loves their lovey! One for home, one for daycare, one for the car, one for when it falls out of the bike trailer on your family bike ride. We've heard it all!

What exactly is a lovey? A lovey is baby magic. It's a mini blanket with soft textures introduced to babies to help create a quick sense of calm and security. It's especially useful in secondary environments, like the carseat, stroller, at daycare, in the NICU, or grandma's house. Its appearance signals a time for calm and rest. I've seen my own babies pick theirs up and go into a little trance. Magic! The satin ribbon and soft fur on the back gives them something to do with their hands, and its small size makes it more portable for them--you'll notice it's easier for them to love on a lovey vs. a full size blanket.

FAQ:

What are the differences between the llama and cuddle backings?

CUDDLE is the silkiest of our backings, and the lightest-weight. It has a very subtle wavy texture, and it’s suuuuuuper soft. Machine wash cold water, regular cycle, no fabric softener. Air dry.

LLAMA is the favorite with babies who love to fiddle–they're obsessed with the texture! It’s about twice as thick as our cuddle options. Machine wash cold water, regular cycle, no fabric softener. Air dry.

♥ Which is my favorite? Definitely cuddle!
♥ Why air dry? High heat can melt both the cuddle and llama if you’re not super careful. And even low heat over time has a tendency to change the texture. Throwing your lovey or blanket over the back of a chair, hanger, or shower curtain rod keeps it softer for longer and takes about an hour to dry!
