+1 THE lovey never leaves our house. Ever. Each grandma has a different lovey at their house. If we go on vacation, we take a less special stuffed animal. No exceptions. Ever. Crucial rule.


Never have THE lovey. Acquire three identical stuffed animals and thrust one at your infant. Basically, set them up to bond with an item of your choosing. Rotate it regularly, so they all have roughly the same smell and amount of wear.


I did this and... now DS has a mommy lovey, daddy lovey and Larlo lovey. He sleeps with mommy and daddy lovey every night lol

Bad advice. This is what ruined me with my first. If you let a newborn sleep all day they won’t sleep at night. Especially by 6-8 weeks you need to limit daytime naps to 2 hours so they get in enough calories during the day and sleep better at night.


And mine slept better at night the more sleep he got during the day. Proving once again that all babies are different.

When I was a kid, one time the "something missing" was the hamster.
