Its eyes are embroidered, so there are no hard pieces to work loose. Choose a soft old pink or a neutral grey. About 35cm long and 75g, machine washable at 30°C and suitable from birth. From BamBam, a baby brand from Leiden in the Netherlands, who call it the Organic Bear Cuddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e✋ Made to be held, not just looked at\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost teddies are built round a chunky body. This one is mostly arms and legs, which is the part a baby actually grabs. A newborn can curl a fist round a leg, and an older baby can drag the whole bear along by one arm, which, let's be honest, is where it's headed. At 75g it is light enough for a young baby to lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎨 Pink or grey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePink\u003c\/strong\u003e — BamBam call it old pink: a soft, dusty shade rather than a sugary one.
