Goes to show how little she knows kids. You can get 2, 3, 10 of the same one. They won't accept any other than THEIRS.
My eldest never had a comforter,he just didnt.
But my middle and youngest girls from the second they where born they had a comforter or as they call it a "snuggie", both have one just different animals, it would be in the bottom of their moses basket or wherever they slept from day ONE. They ended up never ever sleeping without it. It would be near them CONSTANTLY. They wouldn't leave the house without them. If we went for a walk, they'd have them. Now it's only a bedtime thing as they've gotten older, but they're nearly 7 and 6 now and they still won't sleep without them. Point blank refuse. I love it so much.
They lay and rub the ears across their face as they sleep, they twiddle the ears inbetween their fingers, they're discoloured, they're so holey, the heads are hanging on by a thread but it's their comfort. I've never had to replace them and if I did, my my my I wouldn't sleep again cos they wouldn't. They're showing no signs of letting go and I hope they never do.
To Hinch it's just a bunnie that keeps him quiet. Something he likes. To Lennie, it's everything. Take pride on it and make sure you don't lose it. It's not that hard.
