DS (2.4yo) didn't have anything for ages but now seems fixated on this Toy Story drinks bottle

IMO thats just a wierd thing to cuddle in bed Grin.

Does your DC have a weird comfort item?!?

Our ds has "snuzzle socks". They are small (baby-sized) white socks. When he was a young baby he had eczema, and used to scratch his face at night. The hv suggested using socks to pull over his hands, to stop him scratching (they stayed on better than scratch mits). After a while the eczema disappeared, so he didn't need the socks any more, but he had got used to having them near his face and doing a combination of snuffling and nuzzling (hence "snuzzle") them.

My little one has to have a muslin cloth when he is tired or needs comforting. He loves to hold it in his hand and put it against his face when he is having his bedtime bottle.

My friend's little boy had a dead bumble bee under his pillow for quite a while Shock. Wouldn't sleep without it.

DD (3) still has cut up bits of my old dressing gown as her comfort objects. DS (5 mos) doesn't really have one yet but I will introduce one as soon as he seems that he might take to one. I've found them hugely useful with DD
