Hey guys,
Just wondering what does your baby take to bed with him or her....if anything?
Mine has a Playgro Chewy Links Cat. Its so cute he cuddles it to sleep after he has finished sucking on it! LOL :p
When he wakes in the middle of the night you will hear him talking to it, and shaking it....the soft part of the toy also has a rattle in it. When I put him in bed he reaches for it, and if not in his reach, I have to move it over so he can grab it.
Yesterday I went to Target and bought another one, JUST IN CASE it ever gets lost! HEAVEN FORBID! :eek:
So...what does your bub have?

My dd has face washers. She started off just liking the tags, now she loves the whole washer. She usually has about 3 or 4 in her cot so she can find them in the night.
Shes pretty fussy though and will only have the washers from Best and Less cause they have soft tags.:laughing: I've had to stock up on them so now we have heaps.

BIBS MILLIONS OF BIBS!!!!!!
My dd has had a thing for bibs since she was very small, she is quite specific about them too, they have to be the terry towelling ones, you get them at Woolies with the velcro back, we have what seems like millions of them, I found them everywhere in my handbags, my car, my sports bag, bed etc. We have always called them bibbys and she cannot go to sleep without a whole armful load.
Getting a little bit worried about how I am going to wean her off them and definitely not going to introduce it with the next one!:D

DD needs her teddy/lamb, whatever soft plush toy is available(so far) and her blanket snuggled up. Even while nursing her to sleep or giving her a bottle in the cot she needs those :rolleyes:

DD aged 14 months comforter is her blanket, she gets SO happy when u pull it up over her and she rubs her legs against it and feels it in her hand lol problem is she usually chooses to sleep on top of it cuddling it so we have to put another blanket on her during the night!
DS isn't a baby, hes almost 4 but he sleeps with 'blue blankie' and always rubs the silky bit between his fingers (blue blankie comes EVERYwhere with us...yesterday at the doctors he amazed me when he actually chose to leave blankie in the CAR!!!)
DSS aged almost 5 doesnt NEED his comforter (he can sleep without it easily) but he too has a blanket with a silk edging that he just likes on top of time and then his doona on top of that
me....or rather my boobie!

DS likes to hold his sipper cup......with about 1cm of water in it......he also likes to have matchbox car in the cot as well!!
DS isn't overly attached to anything, but i do put him to bed everynight with the same blanket. Its so soft and fluffy.
Mischief................. great idea about buying another one. Might just do that incase he is more attached than i thought!
Nothing for us...it never even occured to me to give him something :o

Worm has 2 dummies and her teddy bear called 'bucket'. She puts her arm around bucket and alternates the dummies in her mouth and hand until she falls asleep!!
I chose "Blanket" because my daughter loves her blanket with the puppy head sewn on it, but she prefers to cuddle into a pink singlet I gave her... it's an old Bonds one that I wore right through pregnancy, so it smells like me. I tried it out with her when she was really restless about a month ago and it's worked wonders with getting her to sleep! Even after I've washed it. So I suppose it's similar to a blanket.

DD's is just her blankets in the cot. Doesn't matter which one as long as she can cuddle it. Trying to get her to take her special little blanket with a teddies head on it but no luck so far.
As for DS1 and DS2 it is each other. They will not go to bed without the other. Drives me nuts if 1 of them is sick.:yes: :banghead:

Lukey's not really a baby anymore but he makes sure that every night "Bankie" & "Money" are with him..."Bankie" is his lambskin he's had since he was born and "Money" is his little stuffed Peter Rabbit.
Funny how both his dearly loved sleeping pals have financial names!!!
We were once over 1/2 an hour away from home (on our way to Barwon Heads for the weekend) when we realised we'd left "Bankie" at home...a quick u-turn and straight home to pick it up!!!

Hayley has a dummy and one of those blankets with the teddy head on it (though I'm pretty sure she prefers the dummy alot better)

DS1 goes to bed with a 60cm Dorothy the Dinosaur stuffed toy. It looks quite funny cause he is only in a toddler bed and dorothy takes up more room than him!
DS2 goes to sleep with a dummy.
My dd has face washers. She started off just liking the tags, now she loves the whole washer. She usually has about 3 or 4 in her cot so she can find them in the night.
Shes pretty fussy though and will only have the washers from Best and Less cause they have soft tags.:laughing: I've had to stock up on them so now we have heaps.
my DS is the same he loves to sleep with a face washer on the side of his face and he also likes the ones from best and less

DD likes to have her dummy, but also me. If she wakes up during the night, she reaches out her hands until she finds my face, then plays with my lips while she goes back to sleep. Very sweet, but sometimes it hurts a bit because she doesn't always let me clip her nails when they need it :eek:

DD won't go to sleep without having a cuddle! The only exception is when she falls asleep in the car.
I have tried & tried & tried to introduce comfort items - all to no avail!:rolleyes:

My girls have a whole menagerie of animals they pass between their cots. They also like to have a dummy in their hand :confused: and they absolutely will not go to sleep unless they have it and one for their mouth as well.
Jaime has a bear her daddy gave her when she was born, she's 7 now and Bronte is still going strong,Ben has a puppy called Smarky and Lucas has a leapfrog brand Tad the frog that plays music.He also loves his fisher price aquarium.

DD1 had a little pink Avon 'My First Teddy', but that soon died (or rather, i swapped him for another one before he totally died, so i can keep him as a memento for her).
DD2 has a 'Kutie the Kat' Baby Ty beanie baby thingo, and loves it! He is so grotty now though, even after being washed every couple of weeks. I bought 2 of them, but she only loves the original. :rolleyes:

ds likes to hold my hand when he goes to sleep ( i know, awwww so cute)
which i absolutely love but lately he has been waking at night and only going back to sleep when i hold his little chubby hand. so ive introduced a blue satin trimmed blankie with one of those teddy heads, ive also sprayed it with some of my BabyDoll perfume that i wear and so far we've had 2 nights without waking for a hand hold :thumbsup:

my youngest dd uses a dummy still:o....only at night though, she uses it to settle herself and go to sleep, i have tried to wean her off it, but to no avial..alwell,, soon i spose!
Hi Mischief! :wave:
Emily has the same cat toy your little one has!! We call him Simba after our own ginger cat - she loves to chew on the chew rings or suck on his tail and his white belly is not really white anymore - more of a grey color :p
She "talks" to him as well.... just babbles to him! It's so cute!!
Her dummy is also her best friend - she gazes at it adoringly as well. :D

My DD (19 months) has a little white lamb that is so cute. She calls it lambie and constantly kisses and cuddles it and everyone else has to do the same.
DS has a bib or face washer to chew/suck/drool on....
DD has always slept with one dummy in her mouth and one in her hand.
Mischief
19-09-2006, 09:37
There are so many different conforters!
Oliver reaches for his now, now we just need to remember to take it if we ever go away!!!!!!!
DD has a dummy which she calls "mumma" (all her dummies are called mumma lol) and also likes to pull the collar of her sleeping bag or whatever she is wearing,up under her dummy,so the fabric is resting on her chin/side of cheek.Very cute!

Tarquin has a dummy but doesn't always want it for night time sleeps. If he falls asleep on the boobie he refuses it.(So i guess I'm a comforter too!!) But for daytime sleeps he usually wants his dummy. He also has a elephant (for the no dummy times) named Winks, he sucks on his trunk and cuddles him to his chest.
He also alternates between wanting the NUK ones and the TommyTippee ones. Will throw quite the wobbly if you get it wrong.:laughing:
A teddy head blanket.....he loves them so much that I went and stocked up on them.
We now have about 8 of them. :laughing: :o

My DS loves to hold his dummy. He doesn't use it anymore for sleep but he only settles if he is holding onto it!! Too cute!!:D

DS has a teddy but doesn't usually notice or mind if it's been left back in the lounge room or is in the post heading this way after being left at the grandparent's house... Thankfully!
