Of late, my child has started holding on to his teddy bear, before sleeping ?
A. One way that a baby copes with anxiety is to develop an attachment to a security object. Suddenly you notice that your baby has become very attached to a certain toy, stuffed animal blanket. These special objects seem to soothe, calm, and comfort your baby especially during the sleeping time. This attachment to security objects are very common and should be considered normal and even healthy. Children outgrow their attachment between the ages of 3-6 years.
