[TheAnticodCod]

mate has had babay
am getting her some lovely homebakced delights in a ncie tub( doing tomorrow) and also a cuddly for the kid

am thinking rabbits are popular - long ears to hold
ds3 also lieks bean bags legs

what do your kdis like?

no cuddlies

you get too many farking cuddles

she won't thank you

machine washable is good (you can watch it go round).
long fur that you can grab hold of.
my two have an elephant and a rabbit from Mothercare which they love.

really?
btu a nice one.. oh eys a posh one

Mine never had anything, but I used to childmind for a girl who had an old manky piece of towelling. She walked round everywhere with it in her mouth.Yuck.

Neice has a rabbit with velvet ears

we have a jellycat cat which used to make an amusing boinging noise when you dropped it, but it was never really friendly.

puppies nasty

giraffe if you must

but really

I think that puppy ticks all the boxes.
He looks like you could stick him in a washing machine.

Libby Purves says stuffed toys must have 'pleasant expressions'.

[http://www.kskids.co.uk/acatalog/more-info/Ivan_the_Rabbit_Character_Toy.html K's Kids' Ivan rabbit] Medium and small are not to scale in that picture btw! He is machine washable (I say 'he', DD's Ivan is actually a girl, Mummy Rabbit) and ages gently (is 'real' a la Velveteen Rabbit). Medium size is best.

I'll just try that link again.

TWO sets of square brackets, you numpty.

You need two lots of brackets.

they are just going to end up with sacks of them

And now it doesn't work. I give up. K's Kids Ivan -> Google.

dd1 has a dog with floppy ears and has always ALWAYS played with the tail when tired, like from newborn

and now when I read her bedtime story, she plays with it between her fingers, so cute

I would get something that can be replaced if lost if possible

and neither link works

1. ears are a must

1. pleasant epxression

ears

expresison

tail

rules out rabbits then

where do you stand on the bean bag filling/

DS1's Bear is the ultimate cuddly, imo.

Hang on, there was a pic on here when he lost it

Balls, MN taken all pics off!

If you must get a cuddly, why not get a taggie blanket thing. Babies do lurve those silky labels, and I wanted one, but could never justify spending £££ on a blanket with lots of labels.

(They will get about eleventybillion stuffed toys btw)

my friend had one of those blankets for her baby, good idea imo

the only cuddly my DS has paid the slightest interest in is a beanie baby cat, I thing the bean bag body is what sold it to him, he squishes the body. Most of the cuddlies given to him collect dust on a shelf...
