Comforters
WOW! Something of a breakthrough in our house in the past few days - I've discovered that if I put Maddie (6 months) down for naps/bed with her little taggy blanket against her face she goes off with barely a murmur. Can't believe I haven't tried it before - I just didn't think of it, as dd1 never had anything she was attached to (except her thumb). Definitely need to get a back-up in case it goes missing!
Does your LO have a comforter of any kind?

Lo's 18months now but breastfeeding was his only comfort until i stopped a few months ago. I tried loads of different things to settle him. It's only 2 months ago that he's started cuddling his teddy at bedtime xx
Ds likes a muslin to chew on and have next to his face when he sleeps as he wont take his dummy at night xx
As you know, I'm trying to ditch the dummy before M gets too attached, so have been 'encouraging' her to love a little silky blanket in the hope I can swap one for the other at bedtime. The dummy's definitely served a purpose, but I'd rather she went to nursery without needing at naptimes.
I wasn't getting anywhere until this week - she's started putting the little blanket it over her face(!) whilst gripping it it with both hands. She's even started taking the dummy out after a few noms and launching it across the cot! So, I think we're making progress )
If this continues, I'm going to buy another one or two blankies and rotate them (so she can't tell the difference in feel etc), just to avoid a meltdown if one gets lost at nursery or needs to go in the wash.
Do you know where Maddie's taggy came from? Might be worth investing in a spare...?!
