XP: lovey blankets??

spartybride3 · May 2014

Does anyone know where I can find those little square blankets with silk around the edges? If prefer a store where I can go grab one instead of ordering online but I will if I need to.

Also, are there other recommendations for something a 1 month old can hold on to? We tried Sophie but its still too big for her and we have links but she keeps smacking herself with them.

Thanks!

we have the aden and anais ones for my dd. I think you can buy them most places. I like them because when we've lost one, they're very easy to find and replace!

You could try an o ball or a winkel, DD loved those at that age. Target has taggie blankets, Nordstrom has the little giraffe ones.

Have seen the one with animal heads at Target, TJ Max, Carters, and the taggies at Buy Buy Baby. When LO was little I was surprised at how she didn't attach to anything but being in mom/dad's arms.

What about soft rattles that go around wrists? Not sure what you are trying to accomplish (i.e. a cute photo, entertain LO, have a non-boob item for LO to attach to...)

If you (or a friend) crochet or knit, could make a small blanket from really soft yarn. Would be a little larger than a pot holder. A friend's mom did that for her daughter. Also a baby wash cloth is an option.

I always order them for friends from sparkleinpink.com

We also use Aden and Anais and as PP said, they are easy to find and replace.

I actually bought DD all different patterns and she doesn't care which one she has, as long as she has one. Target sells them too but the quality is a little different than the ones sold at the baby stores or Nordstrom.

Thanks...I knew about the a & a blankets but for whatever reason I thought these blankets were much smaller, like a washcloth. We also have the wrist bracelets.

We have a winkle but I haven't tried that yet. It seemed too big. She just seems so eager to hold onto something. She'll hold our fingers and burp cloths, clothes, paci, etc when were holding her. She resorts to pulling her hair or crying when she's in her bouncer or playmat. I just wanted something thin and soft to occupy her hands.

the A & A ones they are referring to are washcloth sized. They make loveys they're called Issies.

I believe what you're looking for is Little Giraffe blankets. I have 2 for my son and he LOVES them. Nordstrom has them in their stores. You can also get them on Amazon.

Both my LO's like to hold onto cloth too as babies. I personally have so many AA blankets, I cut them and sew them into lovey sizes. But as PP mentioned, you can buy them in 2 packs with the satin edge. https://www.diapers.com/p/aden-anais-boutique-100-cotton-muslin-issie-security-blanket-2-pk-102772?site=CA&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc_D&utm_campaign=GooglePLA&utm_content={adtype}&ca_sku=AA-191&ca_gpa={adtype}&ca_kw={keyword}&CAWELAID=1338665776

DD loves her Angel Dear lovey. They are super soft and very easy to wash, we have extras just in case they get lost. She has a pink kitty. She just picked out a blue elephant for her brother.

We have the "Sweet Lambie Thumbie" from Pottery Barn Kids. LO loves it and it washes well. We picked up an extra recently just in case the original gets lost or is in the wash at bedtime.

Tthe product by a & a is called "issi" (sp?) . It's a small square with satin edges. Comes in a 2-pack.

This is my little one's lovey:

But I do have an old bookmark for a blanket with satin edging, as I was looking for one myself awhile back!

We got ours at Buy buy baby but I bet BRU has them too. I've also seen them at Walmart, Target and Marshalls. They make bears, bunnies, sheep, giraffes etc.

Piece of advice - get 2 of the same kind so you can wash them or replace them if one gets dirty or lost.
We got a 2 pack of bunny loveys by Blankets & Beyond and at one point DD started chewing on the ears. They were getting NASTY and I had to wash them almost daily. If I didn't have a spare I would have been in trouble. I wanted to get another 2 pack of extras but discovered that our particular kind was no longer sold and I was devastated! A similar one would not cut it.

K got super attached to them around 8-9 months of age. Before then I just put them in the crib for company but she wasn't asking for them. She is over 2 now and these bunnies are her biggest loves in the world. She calls them Bubbas and always has to cuddle with them. I joke that she loves them more than me.
