Briar is a teddy bear dressed for bed, in a robe and slippers, and that outfit is doing more work than it appears to. A bedtime bear models the thing you are asking a small person to do. Put the bear in his robe, put the child in pyjamas, and the nightly negotiation gets noticeably shorter.
That is the case for this one over a plain stuffed bear. A generic teddy bear joins the pile. A bear with a bedtime job becomes part of the routine, which is how a bear turns into the bear, the one that has to be located before anybody sleeps. Worth thinking about before you buy a fourth bear stuffed animal for the same child.
He works as a new baby or baby shower gift, a first birthday present, a Christmas bear, and a quiet piece of nursery decor in between. As with any baby teddy bear, standard safe sleep guidance still applies for the first year.
How do you wash a teddy bear? Most teddy bears are labeled spot clean only: work on the soiled area with mild soap and cool water and air dry away from direct heat. A bear with sewn-on clothing or accessories is especially safer surface cleaned, since the different fabrics shrink at different rates.
