Teddy bears?
in Baby
Hiya,
Harry's nearly six months old now (doesn't time fly!?) And in the last month or so has formed a 'bond' with a particular teddy! He 'talks' to it when he's in his cot, playfights with it and generally has a merry old time with the thing . But only that one. He can play with it for ages, but any other teddy, he gets bored and moves on to the next one.
I was just wondering if anyone elses LO got attached to a teddy at this age or earlier? Oooh and what was it? Just a regular bear or something funky? Harry's is a long haired traditional bear.

Does he cry if it is taken away?
Joseph is nearly 8 months and he has a 'bedtime bear' from Mothercare (infact he has two so he doesnt notice when one is in the wash!) I put it in the cot about 4 months ago because he was waking up through the night and my Mam suggested he might be lonely!! anyhow as soon as I put him in the cot he looks for it and goes straight to suck its hat! Iv got a video monitor and iv watched him when he is asleep and he cuddles him in and if he turns over he waits a few seconds realises that the bear is no longer in his arms and goes back for him then brings him back! all without opening his eyes!
The bear NEVER comes out of the cot though.. dont want him dragging it around all day and becoming too dependent on it but think its lovely that he has a little friend to keep him company in bed!

Now all my teddies are in Gabe's cot. He can't get to them as they're at the top of it and he's only 11 weeks. But maybe he'll show interest later. My sister had a gorgeous merrythought teddy and was totally bored by it but when my bro came along 8 years later he loved it. By the time he was 1 he carted it everywhere and it was filthy. He still sleeps with it & hes 10. x

P.S I also sleep with a teddy (and suck my thumb) and sometimes hubby hugs him too!!
He would be mortified if he knew i had told you all!
We got Tommy one made at Build-a-Bear and the woman gave Ollie (my nearly 7 old) the heart to make a wish before it went in!
Luckily I asked him what his wish was - stupidly hoping it was gonna be something really sweet for Tommy! He replied "that Man United win the treble next year"
Needless to say, the nice woman gave me another heart to put in so I could make a nice wish for Tommy! Am really hoping this is gonna be the bear he gets attached to when hes a bit bigger!!
My OH said he had bought me a nice cuddly toy (on the phone) when I was pregnant with Tommy so I was expecting a really lovely one with I love you or something along those lines and was really looking forward to getting it! When I opened the bag it was a big shiny Oogie Boogie (from nightmare before Xmas - his fave film)! Was not impressed and, no, it doesnt come to bed with me! Maybe thats where Ollie gets his lack of sentiment from!!!!!!!!
Love Lee

as for bein attached to random things my cousin would only sleep if he had his "postman pat" it was a really old pj top till he was about 8, then he swapped it for a blanket that had gareth gates sewn onto it ha ha still has it now n he's 15.
im a sad bunny really lol!!!
Charlotte doesn't seem to have any preferences on toys. tbh she doesn't have many teddies yet mainly lots of toys.
I have lots of Winnie the pooh toys in the loft which oh wants to get out for her but I'm being really cruel by not letting her have them yet! yes I know I'm a bad mummy..........
I have a fave toy - not really a teddy but I'm showing my age now - can anyone remember Alf a programme on in 80's about a furry alien that lived with an American family...? Well I have a big furry toy of him which I have kept. He's in the loft too though!!
