weighted stuffed animal

Ok hear me out I know stuffed animals are illegal for babies and rightfully so BUT this thing has been the MVP of our home since my daughter was 8 weeks old. It was helpful as a nursing pillow, lumbar support for me, tummy time/sitting support for her, I would sneak away from a floor nap and tuck it in next to her while I sat 2 feet away and was untouched for 20min. Now that she is bigger and mobile she loves to talk to it, carry it places (strength training), pile drive it -- I have no doubt it will be put through the ringer for a long time yet. My mom got it for her and started calling it MooCow (it is clearly a leopard) and it is beloved, just the best $20 you can spend at Target imo.
