Jellycat Bartholomew Bear Soother - L: 13 cm x l: 34 cm x h: 34 cm

Name: Jellycat Bartholomew Bear Soother - L: 13 cm x l: 34 cm x h: 34 cm
Brand: Jellycat

The BubsNest Verdict

The luxuriously soft texture makes this an incredibly cuddly comfort toy, but at 34cm it's quite large for tiny babies to actually cuddle. Perfect as a nursery decoration that grows into a beloved companion for toddlers; skip it if you want a true newborn lovey or need the soother to stay firmly attached.

⚠️Several parents report the soother detaches too easily, which defeats the purpose if your baby specifically wants to suck while cuddling their comfort object.

The Bartholomew Bear soother is a well-liked plush toy among UK parents, praised for its soft, huggable texture and classic teddy bear design. However, some note it may be too large for smaller babies, and a few had issues with the soother detaching. Overall, it seems to be a solid choice for soothing and comforting toddlers and young children.
