I bought this for my niece after she was born...partly to go with the sheep theme in her nursery, but mainly because of all the great things I'd read about it. Well, everything I read was true. It was soothing to her in her fussy moments when she graduated from her bassinet to her crib. Now, at 16 months of age, she loves to snuggle with it. I would recommend this (or any other Cloud b items) to new parents.
