1. GUND Toothpick Teddy Bear Stuffed Animal Plush Beige
(Best huggable teddy — $)
Why it's great: There's a reason their 80's tagline was "Gotta have a Gund," (and sorry to any children of the 80's who now have the song stuck in their head).

Their skinny necks make them perfectly huggable for little arms to carry them around.

FAQs about stuffed animals for baby to sleep with
-
1. How do I choose the stuffed animal that is right for my baby?
If you're buying for your own little one, there are plenty of stuffed friends to match any nursery décor or theme. You may want to take that into consideration when purchasing their first stuffed friend. As they get older, you may want to pick a stuffed friend that matches their developmental milestones (crinkly friends to stimulate their senses, friends that can be carried for new walkers).
-
2. When can my baby sleep with a stuffed animal?
Whether it is a lovey, blankie, or stuffed animal it is recommended to hold off until 12 months before they spend any time in the crib during sleep time unsupervised.
-
3. Does my baby need a stuffed animal?
The relationship between your baby and their stuffed animals will change over time. When they're little, the softness, crinkles, and colors will stimulate baby's senses. As they get older, baby may turn to stuffed animals for comfort and reassurance. Even older, babies and toddlers will simulate taking care of stuffed animals (brushing, dressing, and feeding) which is another developmental milestone.
-
4. How do I know if the stuffed animal is safe?
People love to give soft, fuzzy stuffed animals to babies because they're just so darn cute. Make sure any stuffed animals are age-appropriate before you let them play with them. Sewn-on or hard plastic eyes and decorations can be dangerous for grasping hands and teething mouths. There are many hypoallergenic stuffed animals on the market, so keep an eye out for organic materials and fillers which can help reduce allergens. You may want to hold off on letting your baby sleep with a stuffed animal until you know that the materials don't bother your little one.
-
5. How many stuffed animals does my baby need?
Hundreds! On a serious note, if your baby shows a preference for one stuffed animal or lovey you may want to consider getting an identical backup if possible. As babies get older one particular stuffed animal may become the "go to" comforter and companion, getting dragged with you all over from the doctor's office to the grocery store to adventures in the backyard. Stuffed animals can get dirty but also get lost, so having a backup can avoid the trauma of the stuffed animal going missing
Conclusion
Whether you're decorating the nursery or looking for the perfect baby shower gift, there are tons of stuffed animals out there looking to be loved. Keep an eye out for whether the stuffed animal can be washed (huge benefit) and whether it is made from organic materials, which is ideal for new babies. Stuffed animals provide a huge benefit in terms of learning to self soothe and imaginative play, so don't be afraid to choose more than one new friend for your baby to love.
