DD is just over 12 weeks old and I've got a number of soft toys that have been passed to me by my sister or given as presents.
Somehow, one of them seems to have become a favourite - an old yellow giraffe with floppy legs and feet that make a crinkly noise! I tend to tuck it in with her under the blanket when she goes out in the pram and she usually ends up with her arm around it.
It got me thinking - at what age do babies start to have a favourite toy? Is it too early to form attachments, and should I be rotating it with the other toys she has? Or is she deriving some sort of security/comfort from the familiarity of it? I've possibly been a bit lazy in getting the other toys out
