OMG. No way can they sleep with that much - tell me what I can do to avoid this!!!

Zara sleeps with "frankie" a green blankie with a satin back and a frog head and arms coming out. She has slept with this since 3 months old (she has 3 and I wash them every time I wash her sheets, so they are all washed very regularly). Frankie = frog + blankie.  She loves Frankie, he can stop her crying in most situations.  I have started her sleeping with Nancy, a ragdoll that her Nana made her, so that she will learn to love that too....she only got that for Xmas.  Nancy = Fancy doll that + Nana made LOL. Nancy is the kind of ragdoll designed to be dragged around by her hair  ;D

But I don't understand how that started?  What should I be watching out for?

Katie puts them in her bed herself and then gets very upset when you take them out.

I'd have to say it's really not a problem for Noah.  Maybe it's an age thing, but he LIKES having all that stuff in his bed, he doesn't NEED it all (just maybe Big brown mama bear and of course Boobah ;)).  When he was younger it might've mattered more, but now it's just part of his independent winddown, but I know now he can do it without any of it in a pinch.

For several months Annabel only slept with "Ba" (Carter's stuffed lamb), then added "Sagwa" (stuffed cat) about a month ago. Within the last couple weeks, she also added "Pit-E" (stuffed mouse) and "Draf" (tiny stuffed giraffe). She also carries them through the house with her all day... quite an armful. I thought four was a lot, but after reading this post I'm reconsidering!  :o

I will get my lads

That's so funny, Nathan used to call his little beaney Winnie the pooh characters 'his boys'!!!

Alex sleeps with, Winnie the pooh, tigger, Nathy's lumpy, piglet (oinkoink!, can't say piglet!) eeyore, rabbit, pinkteddy, bigteddy, big sophie and little sophie (dolls) and today she had a new minnie mouse who had to join the bedroom gang.  I try to take one out every now and then but she knows and won't sleep without any of them.  I move them all to the bottom when she drops off, bt if one falls out during the night, she shouts to me in the morning to let me know and one night, I went in at 2am as she was crying and I said 'ssshh' and she was still laying down, unde the blankets, but said, 'mum, eeyore, down there'  and there was eeyore, laying on the floor near the bottom of the cot!!! wierd,  how the heck did she know?

For Noah it's, "I'll get my babies."

 :-* I love when they say things like that ! And he is very precise on who is a 'lad' and who isn't. Buzz Lightyear not a lad  ...
 We were tyding H's room yesterday and he added some more in, they are at the foot of the bed so I think its ok.

Anna sleeps with 1-3 giraffes , known as gemma and the baby gemma twins! We did have issues with her losing items in the night and callin out to us , so we got her a kiddie torch and now she looks for and finds them herself!! Much more preferable!
Nathan has 3 tigers that are the same but only sleeps with one, then there is one for nursery and then 1 in the wash usually!
