Teddy bear or comforter?

Hello, looking for some advice my 4 month old loves her rabbit teddy but it rattles etc and wakes her up if she’s holding it whilst sleeping in the day looking at getting her either a bear or a comforter but unsure which would be better? She’s at the age now where she is grabbing everything so want something she’ll like.

Whatever you get, get at least 2 if not 3 and swap them round regularly so they wear and smell the same.
Then if one gets lost ...

Honestly in my experience it doesn't matter what you pick because they will inevitably ignore that and instead choose something completely different that either a relative brought or they won at the fair and by the time they form the attachment you won't be able to source a replacement in case they lose it...

Yup this. My DD’s favourite came free with some bedlinen. DS’s favourite is something MIL got him from a niche Scandi interiors shop in the south of france that I think is technically a dog toy. Neither of them formed a strong attachment to anything before a 1YO though. Younger than that and they’d be happy with anything they were holding eg could have swapped the teddy out for a dish cloth and they’d have been fine with it!

All the Jellycat toys are lovely, particularly the medium sized bashful bunny which seems to be a classics we have two.
