HOW IT ALL STARTED

Welcome to Me Lovey! If you've found your way to our website, chances are you're seeking a special comfort item for your little one. Me Lovey was born out of inspiration from our son Brooks, who, right from the start, was a colicky and restless baby. My husband and I embarked on a relentless quest to calm him down. We made countless trips to stores like Target and Buy Buy Baby, trying out various gadgets, loveys, pacifiers, and more, hoping to find something that would bring him peace. Unfortunately, most of our attempts were unsuccessful, and even the ones that worked didn't last long.

When Brooks was around 6 months old, we noticed his fondness for soft, airy fabrics from various blankets and baby gear. He would snuggle with them, hold them while playing, or use them to soothe himself by covering his eyes. Being stuck at home during the peak of the pandemic, like many mothers during that time, I improvised and attached a small stuffed animal to one end of the fabric. It was an immediate hit. Brooks was drawn to it in a way he never was with any other stuffed animal or lovey we had tried. It was the comforting item we had been searching for, and he had essentially designed it by showing us what he liked.

As soon as Brooks could babble, he began referring to it as "Me-Me." And thus, Me Lovey™ came into existence! It wasn't our idea—it was our toddler's. Fast forward a few years and I continued crafting loveys for Brooks. Now 4 years old, he still enjoys playing with them, cuddling them, and sleeping with them. They've become his constant companions.

Initially, we thought it was just Brooks, but then my niece requested one for her birthday. I made her a unicorn-themed lovey, thinking it would just blend in with her pile of stuffed animals and blankets. To my surprise, my sister informed me that she sleeps with her Me Lovey every night. For my niece, the lightweight fabric helped her transition out of her crib and fall asleep without her mom’s help. She would drape it over her eyes for comfort, while still being able to breathe and see clearly through it. It provided her with the sense of security she needed to transition to independent sleeping.

Realizing the potential of Me Lovey to provide comfort and companionship, we decided to share them with other parents who are seeking a unique lovey for their children. We hope you enjoy Me Lovey, inspired by Brooks' journey.
