My 4 month old isn't very attached to this, or anything, yet, but she is easily able to grab the little knobby paws of the bear and likes to chew on them. I've washed it a couple times already and it seems to be holding up. Only gave it 4 stars because it is a little small. That said, it is probably a good size for an infant. I don't feel like there is a suffocation hazard because it can't really get wrapped up around her head.
