Soothie Sleeve Plush Comforts with Parent's Scent | Pediatrician Designed (Fussy, Crying Baby or Child. Separation Anxiety, Shower, Hospital, NICU Gift), Bella The Bear

Our family gave us many plushies for our baby, of many kinds, but when I gave my baby the soothie sleeve, "Bella the Bear", she couldn't stop looking at it, grabbing and shaking it. She loves it and it is the only plush she has attached to and so quickly. The sleeve on the bear is a very innovative idea for the mom to wear or sleep with to infuse her smell on it. Before I gave it to my baby, I first ran both the bear and the sleeve through a delicate machine wash(hand wash function), let it air dry and it still looks completely new.This is made with the highest quality plush similar to that of plushes that cost 100+ dollars like tartine et chocolat. I was very impressed with its quality. It really is a toy to keep for a lifetime and I will buy one for each of my babies. Incredible creation, and with so many products out there, this one really stood out to my baby.

Provided instant comfort to my little one as she started daycare. The daycare teacher told me she could see a difference when my baby was provided the bear to play with. My baby is too young to sleep with the bear, but I'm happy my daughter likes the bear and relieved to know this provides comfort to her when I am not near.

Just love it.

When I split from my son’s father, I knew it wouldn’t be easy for him to spend nights away from me in the beginning. I got this bear and it came with two sleeves. I wore one and his father wore one, and now we can put the sleeve on the bear for whichever parent he is away from. The bear and the book travel between our homes and it has helped him adjust and feel close to both of us, even when one of us isn’t there. It is a great idea and I highly recommend it.

I originally purchased just the sleeves for my toddler who was having issues at bedtime when my husband wasn’t home. I fell in love after the first few nights of no tantrums and easy bedtime so much so I purchased the bear when I found out I was pregnant with my second. He enjoys it just as much as my toddler.

I recently had to leave my 7 month old baby for the first time due to a work trip. It was my first time leaving my child for more than 24 hours - and i was going to be away for 5 days.I dont know who was anxious about it - me or her!I bought this and wore my sleeve occasionally for 2 days/nights. That way i knew it picked my scent up. Once i took it off i placed in in a bag with a shirt i wore. My husband was able to let her snuggle this before bed and through the night.To our surprise, our baby who was often waking through the night before i left, SLEPT through the night the entire time i was away!Conisedence or not - i am giving credits to this! I believe it also helped ease my mind knowing she wouldn't "Forget" me while i was away!

This little bear is such a cute idea and I love the sleeve that can be worn by mom to get her scent for comforting baby. I was really excited about this but then realized I didn’t really want to leave it in the bassinet with baby while he sleeps. I worry about safe sleep and obviously the tiles it would be helpful is when I’m also sleeping. I would recommend keeping a close eye on baby if it is in with them. I would think the scent thing really only works for very young babies when their brains work a bit differently so it won’t be as useful once they’re older and are safe to sleep with a stuffed animal. So while this is a really cool idea and the bear is adorable I didn’t end up using the scent sleeve part of it.

I would recommend picking up one of the 3 other plush animals. The Bear I think has too hard of a nose that might be a problem with a child who is very young. But I figure that will be up to the judgement of the parent purchasing this item.I do like the concept and think its a great idea to always have something around attached to both the parent and the child.
