I just started letting my LO nap with a lovie but he hasn't seem to taken to it yet. When my DD was about 6 months old I started letting her sleep with a lovie and she still sleeps with it each night and she is 5 years old. They are a great comfort sleep aid if your LO becomes attached to one. They tend to get chewed on if you let your infant have one too.
I know they say nothing in the crib with baby. But my 7 month old has a monkey & a taggie if one or both are not in bed with him forget it he is not going to sleep. He rolls all over the place & can push up on his arms so we have no fear he will suffocate on them. He pulls the taggie under his face & holds the monkey by an arm, leg, or the tail & goes rt out most times. I went & bought 2 more taggies just like the first & we switch out on a regular basis so 1 is always available for us. Plus we never leave home without one of the 2 items.
We took away the pacifier from my DD1 around 4 mnths old. Around 6 months old, she was moving around her crib.. and during sleep one night she found a pink stuffed elephant all the way on the other side of her crib.. I heard a sucking noise-- went upstairs and she was asleep sucking on the tag of the elephant.. so needless to say I knew she found comfort in it. Her little taggie blanket is VERY small.. maybe like 7 by 7 inches square and she loved it. She used it to comfort her by rubbing the tags, and sucking on them as well.
She just turned 3 and that thing goes everywhere with us. She is slowly learning that she can only have it when she is sleeping or sad/hurt.. but thats it. For us, it was an awesome lifesaver that is perfectly safe- Per our pedi.
