Why does he do this?

[MantaRay]

Jack has recently started taking the pillow case off his pillow every time he goes to bed. He will throw it on the floor and sleep on the bare pillow. He loves his linen sets so it can't be that. I am at a loss as to why he does it. Is it just one of those things - maybe he did it once and got a reaction? Or could there be some deeper reason for this? We have asked him why (he sometimes does answer why questions properly), but in this case he just repeats the question "why did you take your pillow case off". And if we don't ask him why, he asks the question himself anyway. Any ideas?

Hey MelanieR

so cute...i just love how they all have their little quirks

maybe he just likes the feeling of the bare pillow on his cheek...they are pretty soft

That's cute!

LOL no idea... but it sounds cute & annoying for you at the same time.... I wonder what it is. Maybe try different pillow cases? Get some Healing Hippo Sleepy spray and spray his pillow (we spray Matilda's pillow every night). Matilda sometimes wants 1 pillowcase and then changes her mind later.... she doesn't take them off but will incesantly swap pillows LOL....

Caro, it's like the magic monster spray LOL!

I tried the "spray" tonight - Jack just looked at me and said "can't sleep on spray" LOL! But so far the pillow case is still on - but he's not asleep yet either so I'll wait and see what happens. Thanks for the idea Christy.

Caro - I believe you find them in the placebo section of your supermarket

That's so funny Melanie...your Jack sounds like a real character!

Placebo section of the supermarket

...like it!

Monnie, yes character is good way to describe him. He has us ROFL a lot!

Well, the pillowcase stayed on tonight, but he didn't have his day sleep so he was very tired. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

The Healing Hippo sprays are aromatherapy sprays that are used for different things. The sleepy spray is one that I used that finally helped (with other things) to get Zander to sleep through the night at around 18 months old. When he recently had bad sleeping problems again we pulled it back out & it worked wonders.

Wow, thanks Sarah! I just learnt something new!

They really are a great range. I'm planning on getting the Birthing Bliss one for labour with my next bub

I think it is! If you're not into aromatherapy, I do know lots of people think it's rubbish, then it's worth a try IMO.

Sorry for hijacking Melanie
