Security Lovey

My 16 mo old son uses my hair as his “security blanket”.?

We have been co-sleeping since my son was born. Now I’m ready to move him to his own bed, but he uses my hair as a “lovey” to get to sleep! Any ideas how I can break him of this with minimal tears/trauma?

I would just buy him a soft blankie and hand wash it in a couple dabs of your shampoo. Hopefully, the softness and smell will give him some comfort. From now on, every time you hold or rock him bring the blanket with and snuggle it against him while he’s playing with your hair. After a while, he will associate the blanket as part of the comforting routine and the blanket will be more of a comfort when you aren’t there. Good luck!
