She only gets her bunny named hippy at bed time and naps. This was part of the sleep training program we used. At bedtime she is so happy to see hippy and hold him that she forgets to make a fuss.
DS has two stuffed animals that he must clutch while sleeping, one in each arm. A stuffed JellyCat noodle fox and his "Ellen Bear"- a stuffed PB Kids bear that his nanny until he turned one gave him.
I voted SS, but it's still a blanket. He is totally attached to his A&A swaddle blankets. He has 8 and any one of them will do, but nothing else. And he knows the difference between the A&A ones and the mock muslin knockoffs.
Another vote for the boobs. She also had a little silk pillow case my grandmother made for my sister. Then I used it. She doesn't go anywhere without it. We made her a similar one as a backup. She hates it!

Nothing for DD right now, but I'll be giving her one of those lovie blankets with the animal head in place of a bottle for naps and bed time when she's ready. I gave her one tonight, and she's still kind of babbling in her room, so we'll see how it goes. I think it'll be a harder transition for naps because it's harder for her to calm down and fall asleep during the day.
She's very reliant on her pacifier for sleep, and it also helps when she's really upset. She gets a lovey (little blanket with a Tigger head) to sleep with and she does like it, but at this point I think she just likes something to hold. One day last week I had to wash her Tigger blanket so I gave her a different one and she was fine with that too.

I voted nothing, but I guess I should have done SS for boobs. I got him this stuffed lion at Target we keep in the car, but he gets reeeeally excited about snuggling it every time we go somewhere. I've considered sort of introducing it as a bedtime lovey type thing but, I guess it's pointless if we bedshare still.

DD does the double clutch while sleeping also. In one arm it's the doll I got for my first Christmas and in the other a little bear from IKEA that I have named Pierre because 1) I thought he looked French and 2) I think it will be adorable to hear a toddler say "Pierre." We're currently on our second Pierre. They cost $1.99, so I pick up spares when I go to IKEA.
Is this bear wearing a blue and white striped outfit? I think we have the same one! He's a cute lil guy.
If you put anything in Jackson's crib, he looks at you like you're an asshole, and then promptly tosses it right out. He took pacifiers until 8 weeks and then one day spit it out like it was covered in arsenic, and wouldn't touch it again. He's a weirdo, really.
I voted stuffed animal. He sleeps with a duplo bunny in one arm and a stegasaurus in the other. He prefers the bunny. He roles on top of it and sleep on him.
Dd loves the tag from her comforter. I have been pushing a stuffed animal or doll on her for years and she won't have it. The tag is so thin it is about to detach. I am going to sew a replacement tag when the time comes, but I am scared it wont suffice.
I forgot the paci, too. I know I've said it several times before, but he's a huge paci lover. Most of the time he's pretty self reliant at putting it back in, but a couple of nights ago, it was wrapped in his blanket and he just couldn't figure out how to get it into his mouth. It was pretty funny.
L isn't super duper attached to anything, but he loves his A&A blankets. He'll chew on them and carry them around and play peek a boo with them. He also loves his FP seahorse at naps and bedtime. He turns it on by kissing its belly, he never uses his hands.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
