first teddy bear

[melcarin]

Alright mamas! What do you plan to give your baby as their first teddy? I've decided that I'm giving my little girl a sock monkey that my mom got me a couple years ago when I was in the hospital from diabetes complications because a)it's cute and b)it means a lot to me and I want her to have something that's meaningful in different ways. So what have you decided or been thinking of giving as a first teddy?

[JunoandPyro]

Haven't thought about it yet. Thanks for making me think of it

[melcarin]

Haha you're welcome? I saw a post a few weeks ago about it and finally made my decision

My daughter was born 13 days before easter so I got her a little bunny rabbit :)

Me and my hubby made a build a bear together! The pink one with brown hearts on the paws (: its so cute. We put a lulluby in it and a heart beat!

[melcarin]

I hadn't even thought of that!!! That sounds so adorable!

I'll probably give her a totoro :)

[melcarin]

So many cute ideas!!! I love them all :)

My daughters 1st teddy bear was bought for her by her grandma (her dads mom) while i was in labor. I put it away and she can have it when she gets a little older cause I don't want anything to happen to it.

Aww :) that's sweet tho! I love hearing these plans. It makes me smile especially after a long tough day.

I'm doing my daughter's nursey in lion king theme so probably the simba I've had for everrrrr :)

[melcarin]

I haven't met anyone else doing the lion king theme! My mom and I just finished the nursery with all our lion king stuff! I'm sure she will love it!

I bought a baby lion when my boyfriend and I took our first trip while I was pregnant to iowa to visit his sister. Couldn't pass it up!!!

[CHXSINGNOV]

That's awesome! :)
I've found so much adorable lion king stuff :)

Oh man my little girl has so many! I think the two that are the most sentimental though is an elephant with her heartbeat inside and a pink teddy with her name across it that my husband mom got her (: the heartbeat one is super cool though, they say that having the baby listen to their own heartbeat makes them feel at ease and comfortable.

My sons first teddy will be a stuffed dog that I have with his heartbeat recorded in it. I cried everytime I heard it for like a month lol :)

[agladding]

How cute! Yeah I'll be interested to see if it helps soothe them or not. If nothing else it's cute and super personal!

My oldest daughter is giving her heartbeat teddy to her baby sister :) She 5 and is still playin tea party with it lol but she tells me its for her new baby sissy♡

[melcarin]

Yeah the heart beat does help ease and calm baby! Works with puppies and kittens too. Since baby hears it all the time in the womb it's nice for them to have that familiarity outside

We call my baby pumpkin so were waiting to see if build a bear makes a bear with pumpkins or something with pumpkins and my mom is making a crochet blanket green with orange border and a pumpkin beanie for his first pictures I think he's going to be called pumpkin for the rest of his life lol my other kids were peanut,coconut and pebble

[Allocate]

Im getting her a bear from build a bear with her name embroidered on it and the bear feels like baby blankets :)

[melcarin]

So many cute ideas mamas!!!

[Neekx]

I wonder if I could get my child's heartbeat recorded to put in a stuffed animal.  Its sooooo cute never thought of it

[melcarin]
