We basically gave DS a snuggle blanket and put it in his cot with him every sleep, day or night. Eventually he formed an attachment to it and we now have three of them, JIC!

DS has loads of soft toys. Until the last month he showed zero interest in any of them. We've gone through a major upheaval (moved out of our rental, renovating the new place and staying at SIL in the meantime) everyone is mega stressed and DS is picking up on it. Suddenly he's really attatched to "Bunny" and "Bear". I think some kids only form the attachment if they need that extra comfort and familiarity.

Neither of my kids have had a particular toy until relatively recently - maybe the last 12 months or so.
I also agree with Onyx. If there is a particular toy that the child MUST have to feel secure that can cause all sorts of problems if its lost, forgotten, in the wash etc
