You literally have an endless selection available to you, in a wide variety of stores. There are cute and cuddly stuffed animals, and of course you just have to get them their very own baby pillow to put in the baby bed with them. You are assuming it is ok to buy several of these items, because they are being sold in many of the stores you have been shopping in, right? Unfortunately, this is not the case. Not only is doing such a thing not ok, it can be very dangerous, and can even be fatal to put a stuffed animal or baby pillow in the same bed with your newborn or infant baby. The use of baby pillows or stuffed animals can end up being deadly, even if your adorable baby sleeps in a bassinet or baby bed or his own.
