Yes, my son has started to become attached to his blankie. I'm not sure when or how it happened, but there is a definitely a #1, #2, and #3 blankie if you can imagine that! The reason behind so many, I noticed my two nephews had a blankie and attached to the one and only and it was difficult to get it washed because there was only one that they loved. To ensure that my son wouldn't have this problem, I never let him have only one, we rotated through 4 different blankets every time one needed washing. Now, he has a favorite, a second favorite and so on. If he sees his favorite he drops all the others and goes for the favored one! Perhaps like you mentioned, something happens and they become attached because they didn't feel well or were sad. I think if I look back it may have started around the time I went back to work and put him in daycare.
Oh, and he's also an index finger sucker. Odd, I know, but I think that was my fault too. I didn't want him to have a pacifier or become a thumb sucker that when he was an infant, I allowed him to suck on my pinky to soothe sometimes, like in the car since I couldn't nurse while we were driving. I think the shape was similar enough that he started to suck on his own index finger. Now I wish I hadn't and would like to get him to stop! Any suggestions?
