My 18mo DS won’t leave my hair alone when he’s tired, upset or needs a bit of regulation. I love the fact he wants cuddles but sometimes i feel really tapped out, so I tell him not too and remove his hand but he is insistent on putting his hand back in my hair to sort of massage.
I was wondering if firstly this is normal at this age (he’s been doing it since he used to feed at a young age and still does it a year after stopping BF) and secondly - if there’s a soft doll/teddy anyone knows of that has like realistic hair that he could sleep with?
We are weaning off his dummy soon and I think it would help him to have something soothing he already likes in his cot with him…
