5.0 out of 5 stars My 3-month-old loves this!, May 2, 2010

This review is from: Au Naturelle Organic Egyptian Cotton Baby Buddy (Apparel)

This doll is very cute and is perfect for small hands and arms to hold, and the cotton is very soft. My 3-month-old son loves chewing on various parts of the doll - the hands in particular - and since it is organic cotton with safe dyes, I don't have to worry about what he's ingesting. It has been through the wash 3 times so far and come out well. It does take a little longer to dry than regular items of clothing since the head, hands and little of the body have stuffing in them.

Update (Feb 2011): My son still loves these, but it does come with a couple caveats. First of all, he sucks/chews on the hands more than ever, so they need to be washed frequently. This means that I have to have multiple on hand so that he can have one while the other(s) are in the wash. The downside to this is that due to the animal print, all of the dolls is somewhat unique. Right now, he doesn't really care, but I wonder if he will notice when he's a little older. If you want to get your child multiple of these as a lovey, I think you would be better off getting one of the solid color ones.

This organic cotton doll is super cute, very reasonably priced and perfect for the smallest babies because it is also fairly small. My 10 month old loves it and chews on its hat. The doll is flattish with a little "tummy" bump in the middle where the head is attached to the body, making it a perfect sleep lovey.

This review is from: Under The Nile Tan Stripe Sleeping Doll Lovie (Baby Product)

When I first received the doll in the mail, I wasn't impressed and planned on returning it, but with all of the craziness of a newborn, that just wasn't feasible, and so, I decided to give it another chance. It's not soft, at all, compared to other lovies, and it shrunk pretty dramatically after I washed it and started to pick after only a few days. My son really didn't like it until he started the drooling phase, and now he likes to chew on the terry cloth hat, which is pretty great because it absorbs spitty-spit pretty well. It's cute, yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. It also has a really itchy tag that I had to get a seam ripper and take out (that's not shown in the picture). I like the androgyny of the toy, the muted color scheme, and the terry cloth features, but ultimately, it's just not a good texture or shape.
