Are your kids attatched to a blanket or stuffed animal?

Oh yes, my daughter has had a blanket since she was tiny and she loves it. She carries it everywhere with her in the house and I have had to sew it up about three times thus far! I will not let her take it out with her though, I do not want her too attached. I had a problem the other week though, she got up one morning covered in what looked like nettle rash, as the day wore on it became worse to the point she was covered in it and I had to phone the doctors about it. They said it was a virus and so I just kept an eye on her, well it did not get any better at all and I wondered if she was allergic to something, then I looked at her blankie and I thought I wonder if it is that, so I washed it and you know that rash went immediately that it was washed. So in a way they are not a good thing to have an attachment too because they harbour all sorts of germs and now I have to make sure it is washed every few days and believe me we have tantrums over it!

Our oldest girl is attached to her binky (pacifier). We finally got her to only use it when she's sleeping but sometimes we have to bring it with us when we go away. Luckily, our yungest hates them but she's pretty attached to her hand in her mouth. As far as toys, no, no attachments.

When my oldest was little, he would always sleep with a fozzy bear stuffed animal. He gave it up around the age of 5, but I noticed he had it in one of his drawers when he moved out of our house:) He is now 20. My next two boys were attached to blankets when they were little. My one boy still has his in his closet and he is 14. My now 16 yr old left his in a hotel when he was 5 and we were in Florida. I called the hotel to see if they found it, but they didn't. I am sure it is because it looked like a rag! My daughter had a doll that she loved when she was little. I ended up buying 3 of them before she stopped sleeping with them. She still has all 3, one has no face left on it~ scarey. Now my daughter love sleeping with a blanket (she is 8). It is one that someone made for her when she was a baby. I had it in her closet and she liked the colors on it, so now she sleeps with that eveyr night.

My younger two are attached to a blanket. The middle only sleeps with hers, the lil guy has to take it everywhere with him.

My eldest had an attachment to a blanket, which he wouldn't sleep without. I thought that was bad enough, but my youngest won't go to sleep without ME!!! (It's cute really, but I wish his Dad would suffice occassionally!)

my daughter is 4 1/2 yrs old and has a stuffed boyds elephant that she calls Ellie. She is soo attached to it that I'm only able to find it on Ebay since it is a retired cuddle fluff. She has already gone through 2. I have 2 in my closet as back up so when the current Ellie falls apart or gets to nasty looking I will switch up. She's sneaky though everytime I try and give her the new one she flips, there's something about the current Ellie she loves, probably the smell of it, LOL. My son is 5 yrs old and is just attached with trains especially thomas. He has always been obsessed with Thomas.

Yes, my son is very very addicted to a stuffed duckbill platypus. For one, its too soft and furry and feels wonderful against the skin and then its an offbeat toy too. The beady eyes make it look all the more real. He calls it ‘Platy’…the funniest part is that as a baby, he never had a particular liking for any stuffed thing but this Platy I go him like 2 yrs back and he was 7yrs then and now at 9yrs, he still cant do without it. As for blankets, well he has his own and is very possessive about it. He wont take any of our’s (we all have single blankets) and throws a tiff if by mistake we take his

All three of my kids were attached to blankets.....now they are grown....but my little granddaughter loves stuffed animals. Last weekend she slept with me and we had to have four of them in bed with us.....it got a little crowded. It seems like when she is upset or sleepy she needs a puppy or something to hold on to.

I have 4 children and my oldest son never was attached to anything like that. My second son came along and he grabbed my first son's Frankenstein stuffed toy. I think it was called Frankenstuff or something like that. He could not fall asleep without it. He outgrew that by the time he was about 3 years old. My first daughter never had any attachments, but my last daughter - the baby has an attachment to her blanket. This blanket was her older sisters' when she was a baby. It is a crib blanket and washed very thin. You cannot even see the design on it any more. But my 3 year old daughter has to have it to go to sleep at night. If we go on a road trip for the day or longer she has to have it. When she gets up in the morning she drags the blanket with her. Sometimes she puts it in her chair when we eat dinner. God forbid she see me put it in the laundry. She will then hover around the washer and dryer until it is finished. When she is sick she wants to be wrapped up in it. At night she sleeps on her stomach with her blanket underneath her. Luckily, she goes to preschool 4 days a week for 2 1/2 hours so in that time I can quickly launder it. I hate her using it and it not being clean. I don't want her to get sick from any germs that might be on it. She does drag it on the floor when she walks around at home too. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

It depends what mood my daughter is in. She usually has 3 she chooses from. One is a stuffed panda. She also loves her stuffed Simba. And she rarely sleeps without her Hello kitty blanket her Grandma Martha gave her. She is more attached to Simba. And has let her baby cousin use the Panda.

I have three boys 12, 10, and 4. None of them have ever been attached to anything. I do have one that just loves band-aids but I'm starting to think that there are a lot of kids that do lol.

My brother was attached to a blanket which he had since his childhood. That blanket was so important to him that he was not able to sleep without it a single time. And one corner of the blanket was the best part for him and he could find out the corner with his eyes closed. Once we went to my country and on the way to the airport his blanket went in some other bag. And then he was not able to sleep. And we had to bring that blanket the same day from our cousins house.

My daughter is very much attached to his eeyore small pillow with long ears. She also cries a lot if it was left somewhere even in the middle of the night we have to find that pillow or else she will not stop crying. We always bring it wherever we go. Up to now she is already 5 yrs old and she is still very much attached to eeyore. By the way we call him as nose nose. For the long ears she always rub it to her nose to go to sleep.

Ny kids are all grown up now, i have grandkids, the youngest is a girl, she carries a stuffed tiger always, thats her favorite. Thanks for sharing God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

None of my kids have attachments to anything. I think that most kids out grow it around 5 or 6. I knew a kid who had to have his stuffed dog everywhere with him. I actually think he has it still though he doesn't take it around as much as he used to. He'd be about 8 now.

I had (have) a blanket I always sleep with. I don't sleep well with out it. It has a softy strip on the top which I love to hold while I sleep. I used to suck my thumb till I was 21 years old. Talk about self soothing. LOL My three children all had special blankets they needed to fall asleep. But even my youngest who is 7 now doesn't use any "special" blankets anymore. They used to always carry around their blankies like Linus on Charlie Brown. But once they started school they didn't really seem to use the blankets anymore. I probably will never outgrow mine as I am 32 and LOVE my blanket!

My toddler has 5 (yes 5!) stuffed animals that he sleeps with but he doesn't take them everywhere. If we forget to put one in his bed, we hear him saying "UH OH" really loudly until we get it for him. So cute.
