Just a word of warning - make sure you know where any soft toy he/she gets v attached to comes from. A spare can be invaluable. We have one spare at nursery so he can have it at nap times too which has worked out v well for us
Tate had this as a baby which he loved http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Bedtime-bear-blankie-blue/dp/B002JPG1RA/sr=1-9/qid=1268855805/ref=sr_1_9/280-3460523-1096353?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=44572031&mcb=core and still sleeps with now. He also has this bear http://www.allthingsgifts.co.uk/35cm-leopard-dangling-soft-toy-by-nici-p-1641.html which he's had since birth too but only started to bother with this past 6 months. He absolutely adores it now and it goes everywhere with it!
