We waited until our son was about 8 months old, and we are so happy we introduced this. Of course depends on your comfort level, but since this is so breathable, we had no problems with giving it to him. It's soft - and the satin trim is perfect. He makes out with it all the time, it's so cute. The design is also lovely, we love rainbows! We call it his "bo" like rainbow. I highly recommend this lovey!
