When is it safe for babies to sleep with a lovie? My 8.5mo old is crawling and standing, though not walking just yet; she has really good head and core strength. She pulls her hair at night as a soothing mechanism and I would like to redirect that energy towards a lovie at night, but not without ensure it is safe.
