DS is 23 months. He's had a lovey since he was a wee infant (A&A swaddles & security blanket). He went through a phase last year where he wanted to take it everywhere, so around 16? 18? months we actively started only letting him have it during sleep times. It wasn't a big deal and he was fine with it. When we did special things like get his hair cut, traveled to vaca, or if he was sick, we of course allowed loveys to comfort him.

The last few weeks though, he's been insistent on bringing it out first thing in the morning and after nap time.

Not sure where I'm going with this, but just wondering if your LO gets "reattached" to loveys. And how you limit use, if at all?
