comforter/toy for cot
Does your lo have a special toy just for the cot that helps them settle?
Just wondering cos Charlotte is struggling with settling at night now. To make things worse she has started with a chesty cough which is worse when she's lieing down. She started crying so I gave her a cuddly toy out of her room which seemed to pacify her a little.
I've often wondered if I should get her a small cuddly toy just for the cot which she can cuddle to settle with. I'm quite strict about bed-time and always wanted her to settle on her own with no 'props' as I call them. Also, some people I speak to are quite surprised she doesn't have a special cot toy/comforter etc.
Do you think I should get her one or just leave her as is now she's nearly 18 months? I don't want to start bad habits (for what of better words) but I want her to settle. And do you have any suggestions on good oomforter toys (preferably cuddly ones).
Poor little thing keeps coughing She's never had a bad cough before and I've given her Calpol as I know rules & regs changed on cough meds for lo's.

She has always loved soft toys and has taken him everywhere since she was about 10 months old (we have three of them just in case!) she also has a soft toy duck that comes to bed as well as Mr Pony and then a little gang on teddies for playing with - she is literally never without at least one and now plays tea sets with them!
She never had a dummy and I am really happy that she has something that brings her comfort, I think Charlotte might love a little friend!
Hope the cough clears up soon.
She does have a pillow but is a real wriggler and hardly stays on it tbh.
I think I'll get a little beanie toy for her cot as they are soft. Thanks for all your replies. xx
