Teenager that STILL has an baby blanket....?
I am 32 and still sleep with my blue bunny that I had when I was 3. My opinion-security. Sometimes you just need something to cuddle. :)
Should a 11 year old have a baby blanket or when should they get rid of it?
Any person of any age should be able to retain a baby blanket or favorite toy as long as they wish. I have a son who had a teddy bear given to him when he entered Foster Care. When it became so threadbare that the insides were coming out, (he was then about 17), my mother made a pair of overalls sewn onto it. This ‘child’ is now nearly 40, and Teddy is on about his 30th pair of overalls.For my daughter, my mother made her a quilt that incorporated her favorite baby blanket along with pieces from some of her favorite but outgrown outfits.
Baby Blanket in College?
Do you think this is weird? I am 19 and still have a baby blanket. Idk what it is. I just love the texture and the way it smells. It makes me feel comfortable and I can't have a good sleep without it. I only sleep with it or when I'm lounging I will cuddle with it. Is it weird that I still never gave it up yet? It just stays in my bed until I go to sleep but it comforts me.
I am 13 and I still sleep with my baby blanket?
I am a 13 year-old girl and I still sleep with my baby blnket. When I have friends come over I hide it in my dresser. I can go without it when i'm on a trip with friends or church but if i'm at home and I have access to it I need it. I have always had this HUGE attachment to my baby blnket. in 5th grade my mom put it in my bag before a sleepover. I started crying and I couldnt go to sleep so I got up and got my blnket and I was asleep in minutes. It is soft and worn and it has smooth silky edges and it feels so good to rub the silky part against my mouth area.Also I rub my thumbs on it:) I used to do that as a baby so I guess in a way it makes me feel safe? I feel weird that I still have it but I carry it across my room to turn out the lights cause it makes me feel safe. I have some issues that I have gone through that have left me different... is it possible that my experiences have led me to this? I want to know because I feel like an outsideer because non of my friends do this..none of my siblings do either. My little brother is 10 and he ditched his baby blanket over 2 years ago. In a way I feel like I need it and it makes me feel safe and happy.
I still sleep with my baby blanket, I am 17. Is that bad?

Is it wierd that I'm 18 and still sleep with my baby blanket?
I mean my baby blanket is not cute..AT ALL!! It use to be pink with cute little bunnies, and it was probably a twin size. Now it's grayish (not cause it's dirty, cause the pink faded and it's old), badly ripped to the point were it doesn't cover me anywhere. I just scrunch it up in a ball and hug it. I wake up with ripped pieces on my bed so I tuck them under my pillow. If my blanket was actually a blanket I wouldn't feel so embarrassed but when ever I have people over I hide it in my closet so no one will see it. I don't want to get rid of it cause I'm emotionally attached. What should I do? Throwing it away isn't an option.. Seriously this blanket is going to be gone in about 2 years it just keeps on ripping.
Is 5 too old to be sleeping with a baby blanket?
When my youngest brother was very small, he got into the habit of falling asleep with the fingers of one hand rubbing the satin ribbon on the edge of his cot blankets. As he got bigger, the satin ribbon of the now-mostly-disintegrated blanket followed him around: at first a segment of the blanket, then just the satin edging. When even that was falling to pieces, my grandmother gave him a bit of silky lining from an old coat of my mother’s, and as an alternative comfort object he had a satin ballet slipper that I had had for an exam. As time went on, the shoe itself disappeared, but about eight inches of satin ribbon remained.The bigger he got, and the nearer the time for school came, the smaller the bit of satin being rubbed between his fingers. It kept him happy when anything stressful happened, and it sent him peacefully to sleep. Eventually it just disappeared and he managed life without it, but we never applied any pressure over it. He’s now in his 50s, and I don’t suppose he remembers it at all.Perhaps your daughter will be happy with only a bit of her blanket in time, but eventually she will give it up entirely, and of her own accord. In the meantime, she’s happy and it does no harm. Please urge your husband not to push this: age on the calendar doesn’t say anything about how old you feel inside your head. Your daughter will abandon her blanket, without any pressure from anyone else, when she no longer needs it.
I'm 18 and still sleep with my baby blanket. I also rub it and rely on it when I'm stressed. Is this bad?
You actually remind me of Linus, Charlie Brown's best pal, and his blanket.On a sober note, it's OK to have your baby blanket with you, as long as it gives you spiritual peace.I am well into the second cycle of my life, and I have a horde of fancy toys [see appended 3 photos] on my work desk, ever since the early 90's, including a tiny crystal glass paper weight, with a Panda bear and a bamboo grove embedded in it, which my beloved late first wife, Catherine, gave me as a gift when we met on our first date at the old Orchard Cinema in Singapore, during the late 60's.
Still sleep with my baby blanket?! Im 16 going to be 17 soon?!?
TAKE IT FROM ME ITS NOT BAD OR WEIRD THAT YOU HAVE YOUR BABY BLANKIE STILL...MY WIFE JUST TURNED 23 YEARS OLD AND SHE STILL SLEEPS WITH HER BABY BLANKIE EVERY NIGHT AND TRUTHFULY WHEN I FIRST MET HER I THOUGHT IT WAS SO CUTE THAT SHE NEEDED HER BABY BLANKET TO SLEEP. AT FIRST WHEN SHE WOULD SLEEP OVER A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE FIRST MET SHE DIDNT HAVE IT BC SHE WAS SCARED TO TELL ME BUT SHE SAID THAT SLEEPING WITHOUT IT IS STILL POSSIBLE...MAYBE IF U WANNA STOP SLEEPING WITH IT THEN TRY JUST PUTTING IT AT THE FOOT OF YOUR BED FIRST OR IN UR PILLOW CASE FIRST AND SLOWLY OVER TIME MOVE IT FARTHER AND FARTHER AWAY FROM YOUR BED UNTILL ITS IN THE CLOSET. YOU DONT HAVE TO GET RID OF IT IN ONE DAY JUST GET RID OF IT SLOWLY

I slept with a teddy bear while i lived alone. Now he is in storage in the basement. Eventually, a blanky gets inconvenient. You don't want to take it to college for fear it will be lost or stolen. Then, you really dont need it when you cuddle with a boyfriend. They just kind of fade out.
