Children are so cute when they develop a sleeping habit, they cant sleep without. It might be something they want to hold when they go to sleep. My 3 year old likes to hold my foot while sleeping. I cant sleep myself when heās halfway asleep and playing with my foot. But as soon as goes to sleep, I free my foot. But in the middle of the night heās again back to my foot.
I know a 7/8 year old kid who still cant sleep without holding his motherās hair:eek: .
What habit did you grow up with? And do your children have any habits like that?
My nieces took forever to give up their blankets which they always carried around. Now two of them cannot sleep without these stuffed toys that I once gave them. The 6 yr olds stuffed toy is a little light blue hippo called hippo or peepoe. The 4 yr old's is a light pink bear called ElmaSue, (dunno how she came up with that one). The third ones was a duck but she isn;t quite addicted to it instead she still likes to carry around her blanket all the time and sleep with it too.
yeah when i was 10 i used to sleep while holding my dad hand :(
and then after that i separated my room then start holding my sis's hand.. and i still do hold her hand before sleeping :(
I never slept with my parents, proly till I was 2 or 3 yrs old I did. Then I started sleeping with my grand ma. I used to put my head over her arm before going to sleep, somehow I used to wake up with my head over the pillow though:D
Now I sleep with my younger sister and I can't sleep if she is not there. I just want her presence there I guess or I roam around the house all night long.
^ yeah that is why now she decided to put her bed on the other end of the room :(
same here another reason of sleeping with her is that i get scared at night.. sorry but i can NOT sleep alone at night :(
^ aur mera sarr kitni dafa heater se takraaya hai.. i didnāt noticed it.. but ma parents could hear it..so they ran into ma room to check i was alright.. n i didnāt even notic where ma head has been..
i slept with a blanket that i used to call āniniāā¦i couldnt sleep w/o it.
I still have it in my closet..inshallah Iāll give it to my first born.
My sister kept a blanket from her infancy days.
I believe mom made her throw it out last year.
She used to call it "nini tambal".
(tambal = cambal= blanket)
My daughter used to pinch my hand right between thumb and the index
finger. And she would say "hath do lena hai", instead of hath do/hath lena hai.
I found it sooo cute.
I still sleep with my butterfly :D she is cute but these days ami ji has taken it away to wash it ... which reminds me meri butterfuly abhi tak dulhi nahe hai..
its a nice big pillow with tons of colors and in pillow shape....
i am using a soft pillow instead... i like to hug it and put half of my head on it and other half on the pillow below my head....
my nephew cannot sleep unless heās laying next to his mom holding her ear. he plays with it until he falls asleep. then she can finally turn n sleep on her other side. n if he wakes up in the middle of the night..heāll want her ear again. he says āmujhe aapka thanda kaan chaahiyeā its the cutest thing ever
