Lost comfort toy

[widdly]

OH NO!!!!!!! I just want to give you a huge hug cause i have always been paranoid os this happening to us! Archie has had his Tigger (gigger) since he was a couple of months old and is very attatched so i bought 3 of them so i had backups, we lost one at the shops 12 months ago and i freaked out even though i still had 2 left. he has 2 now that i rotate and im gonna buy a couple more while they still are available. maybe you could find a toy that is similar in size/colour/texture? Archie had a giraffe toy to start with that he always slept with when he was tiny but it startd to break and wasn't safe enough so i went and found Tigger who is a similar size/colour/texture. He was a lot younger though and more easily fooled.

I really hope you can find a replacemet, i reckon if you find a new special toy it wont take long for grace to love it, and try and get something that you can buy a few of, so you can rotate them and wash them. GL

Yes, I have had this happen. DD had a fav toy that went everywhere except child care. Hecta had an accident and was unsafe for her (she was about 9 months at the time). I knew the brand and searched high and low for a replacement to no avail. I ended up contacting the company who sent me a replacement (which turned out to be the wrong thing but DD loves it anyway).
It took me about 4 weeks to get the "replacement" from the company. For the first few weeks, DD was horrid. Wouldn't sleep, was clingy, wouldn't feed properly. All the fun things. She slowly got over it though.

We have another couple of "sleep toys" which I have duplicates of. These get rotated so I can wash them and not have her go through seperation anxiety whilst it is in the wash...

HTH. Good luck finding a suitable replacement.
