Taggies?

chelseakae07 · May 2014

I want to make Taggies (little square piece of fabric with ribbon) for my baby on the way... I've never seen a baby actually play with them/ use them, I just think they are cute. What is your opinion on Taggies? Worth it or worthless? How many would you suggest having/ making? Thanks!

I have a couple. One I bought at a craft show and another was made for me by a friend. I think as long as they are sewn properly and only used under supervision, they are fine. I guess I haven't seen any LOs with them either, they must be a new trend. I've even seen onesies with them sewn into the front!

DS had one and loved it! He was always sucking and chewing on it!

We were gifted one (not handmade). To me, it's just like any other lovey. Either the kid will get attached to it or they won't. DS has at least 6 different loveys, none of which he seems particularly attached to, he just grabs whichever one is closest.

Here's a picture of one online.. I think they are adorable and would be easy to make! I just don't want to have useless items laying around simply because I think they are cute! Thanks ladies for your replies!

My niece had one which she loved, I'm pretty sure she still carries around sometimes. DS never had a taggie, but always looked for the tags on items to suck on which are similar to ribbon.

It was worthless to DS. He never had a single comfort item...besides my boobs.

DS had a taggie ball like the one pictured above and a floor mirror with a taggie frame. They were some of the first things he liked playing with (especially the ball) b/c he could grab them pretty easily no matter how they landed when he flailed his arms.

This time around I'm going to make a taggie blanket and attach a velcro loop or something so it can be a car seat toy. I'd also like to make a couple of cloth "quiet books" with different textures.

DD never really attached to hers. Now she uses it as a blankie for her babies

DD had 3, she loved rubbing the ribbon between her fingers and on her cheek. All of ours were also minky fabric so she cuddled the blanket part as well.

We were given one as a gift for DS and he wasn't phased by it. Now, his giraffe lovey is another story! At almost 3 1/2 he doesn't leave home without it and we have 2 back ups of it!

I made some when ds was a baby and he liked them I made them for gifts as well when I sewed them I would triple stitch inside and then double stitch around outside when I turned the inside out to ensure the ribbon wouldn't budge great sensory item for little ones but again like all toys and such not every kid likes them

My DS has one and loooves it. He never took a pacifier or anything so it's definitely his security item. It was one of the first things I bought for LO on the way bc "woobie" is so special to DS.

DS had a couple he slept with at one point. Wasn't super attached but he liked to play with the ribbons.

My DD loved Taggies. If you make one, you can choose ribbons of different textures. That's one of the reasons for the tags, sensory type goals. I think it's worth it

We had one for DS and he was not interested in it at all. But my cousin's baby loves it so just depends I guess!

I made some taggie animals for LO. Hoping he loves them because they were kind of a PITA to make! I just picked complicated animals (note: a seahorse with a curled tail is a bad idea), but they did turn out really cute!

We had one that had a crinkle fabric inside so it made noise and DD loved it!

Thanks everyone for responding! I went ahead and made my first one last night.. I think the next one will be bigger with more taggies on it! Here's a picture of my final product

My oldest seemed to know the difference between manufactured tags and the ones that were true tags. IMPOSTORS!
