Lovies/stuffed animals

You will notice around 5 months or so that baby wants to hold on to things. These bring baby comfort and help with sleep. We gave Lilah a stuffed monkey at this stage. This monkey is her best friend and she still needs him to fall asleep. This stage was after the swaddle, when she needed to do something with her hands. She was able to move around a bit, so the worries of toys being a danger was gone. If you are in a stage where you think baby wants to hold something. Give it a try. You will be amazed how it helps.
