"As a sleep consultant, I often recommend that a baby sleeps with a "lovey" for security. However, for young babies it isn't safe to leave a "lovey" in the crib, which means that there is no comfort item in the crib to help soothe the baby. This product is excellent because families now have the option to give their child a comfort item in a safe way. I would recommend it to any family I work with."

"I am actually a sleep consultant and was extremely excited when I heard about the bitta kidda! I am a huge advocate for eliminating all sleep props, with the one exception of a "lovie". The only problem I run in to with this is SIDS. Infants need to develop their independent sleep skills, but placing a small blanket or stuff animal in the crib at such a young age is too dangerous to recommend to my clients. PROBLEM SOLVED with the itta bitta!!! I also love that as the child grows older, they cannot use the clever tactic of throwing their lovie out of the crib to gain repetitive attention from their loving parents;)"

"Thank you Bitta Kidda! I discovered Bitta Kidda Wearable Lovie when Cole was about 5 months old. He kept pulling his traditional sleep sacks over his face trying to put it in his mouth. So I found Bitta Kidda online and he loves it! Just turned 9 months today and wears the 12 month old size."

"Just a quick update that Gracie is a true Bitta Kidda! She's 10 months now and has been a huge fan since we introduced it at 4 months. Gracie sleeps and naps in it everyday and it's just as important as a bottle for us and for her routine. She loves it. I tell everyone about Bitta Kidda because I really think it's one of the best "mom" inventions out there. Also when Gracie nurses and is wearing her Bitta I just watch her as she looks to hold, feel, touch those flaps. I know it's providing her so much comfort at night too! Genius."

“We discovered the Bitta Blankie when Isaac was 5 months old. He really took to it; within a week he was sleeping through the night. He clearly found comfort in holding onto the Bitta Blankie - we witnessed him holding it when lying down in his crib and at diaper changes before and after bedtime. As a mother of 3 boys, Isaac is my first child to have a Bitta Blankie and my first child to have slept through the night consistently at such an early age. He is now 15 months and still sleeps like a champ! Amen to sleep!”

“Mason started using Bitta Blankie when he was around 3 months old. Though he was already almost consistently sleeping through the night, we noticed that when he was wearing his Bitta, he had an easier time soothing himself to sleep and would wake up in the morning without crying and instead, laid and "played" happily in his crib. As any parent knows, gaining a few extra moments in the morning is priceless! We have even noticed Mason subconsciously stroking his tummy for the Bitta flaps when he isn't wearing them, a true testament to how much he loves them!”

“The Bitta Blankie has been so great for our son. When he was very young, he was quite the strong-willed baby and resisted tooth and nail to our (numerous) sleep training methods. What's funny is that, once we added Bitta Blankie to the mix, he was able both to sooth himself to sleep as an initial matter and also sooth himself back to sleep when he'd wake up in the middle of the night. We would watch the monitor as he squirmed around the crib; but as soon as he would find the "blankie," he would tug on it for a while (almost into submission!) and fall asleep. He has been a much better sleeper since introducing it to his routine. It was also interesting to see the difference when we reverted back to plain pajamas. We went away last weekend - forgetting to pack his Bitta Blankie - and he was NOT a good sleeper at all. We brought him home, put him in the Bitta Blankie and he slept through the night no trouble. I have to say, it was pretty amazing! Thanks for introducing us to this fabulous product!”
