Is this unusual ?

My daughter has just turned 29 and sleeps with a collection of cuddly toys. Please don't worry.

He's in good company to have a few cuddly toy friends. My son is over 16 and he uses them to push up into a pillow at night.

Thanks for your replies. Reassuring.

GS(15) still sleeps with 'big dog' in his bed. His brother (13) takes one of the cats to bed with him! As for me - well, I'm 80.

DD is still inseperable from her cuddly toy and now several friends so said toy is not lonely all day when she is at work.. She is nearly 50.

Anyway, who cares what other people think?

I still sleep with a cuddly and I’m 51!!

Taking classes of eleven -year olds away for 'adventure weekends'. the pupils were advised to take a cuddly toy with them, and all of them did, some pretending that they were a mascot..
When they went up to bed all the toys had disappeared and there were tears; the extremely odd teacher whose class it was had hidden them, for a joke, and thought their distress was very funny. She didn't last long.
But the point is, all the boys seemed quite happy to produce their soft toys in front of their friends.

Worrying about what people might think is pointless

Somebody will find something that they can make fun of, however tiny and insignificant it is

I have three cuddlies by my bed as they were bought for me by my Gs my dad and my mom whom are both deceased,so i gain comfort from them.
My Gs thought it was really nice i kept the one he gave me even though he was only one y/o at the time.
And he still has a cuddly my friend bought him when he was born and that was over 13 years ago,and yes it`s still on his pillow.

My son's girlfriend when visiting our house a year or so ago found my son's first teddy in the wardrobe in the spare room where they stay. She felt that said bear shouldn't have to live a solitary, life all alone in a wardrobe so he was spirited back to their house to be coupled up on bed with her threadbare bear Not sure they sleep in the actual bed with them though, but I gather the inanimate object bear is a lot happier now, or so I'm told!

My 13yo has no SEN and sleeps with loads of teddies etc

DGS3 has a variety of cuddlies dotted round his room and doesn't seem to be embarrassed about it.

Both my grandsons sleep with a cuddly toy.
(One is 18!)

When the 13 year old has friends round, nobody seems to comment on it like they probably would have done in "our day".
