My son's blanket problem!!!?
Answers:
it is absolutly normal. Some kids keep thier blankies or other loveys through kindergarden, he will give it up when he is ready, you might start making blanket rules now though (such as only at bed time, or whatever so that other kids don't make fun of him) DO NOT TAKE IT AWAY UNTIL HE IS READY!!! when he is ready to give it up just put it away, he may want it back in a few days, kids do that, it's normal.

It's normal and don't put stress on him getting rid of it he'll tire of it eventually.
Das cute
Hey as long as he is behaveing normaly for a 2 year old in all other aspects of life you should'nt worry about it. Usually when a toddler holds on to something for that long, it just means that he might be a little insecure and might think he is not getting enough affection or love from those who are closest to him. I am not saying that you are not doing your job of loving him, I'm just saying there is nothing to worry about, he will grow out of it eventaully. I sucked on my thumbe until I was about 9. It's just one of those habbitts some kids can't break until later in life. So don't worry about it.
Yes, it's perfectly normal. He'll find something else to be interested in, soon enough. It's a phase and it will wear off eventually. Right now, it's a security thing and it comforts him. When he finds other ways to comfort himself, he won't need the blanket anymore. It comes with age.

My son was the same way when he was that age. The family nickname for him was Linus. He'll grow out of it in time. If not, you can limit his blanket for his room only.... if you do this, be firm and don't budge!
Good luck and things will work out for you. You’ve got nothing to worry about.

Awww..look at little linus...carrying around his blankie....how cute!
It's just a stage, just like straight women turning "bisexual"...lol
just give it time. he'll replace one bad habit with another.
My son is 6 and still wont sleep without his favorite stuffed duck he got when he was 9 months old. I would let him keep it even if it gets torn and holy. at school age maybe it could be a bed time comfort. my son quit taking his duck out. but he still takes it on every vacation. I think it is normal .
It has nothing to do with your lack of attention. My godson is going on 9 and STILL has favorite "blankie". He's simply attached to it, as it reminds him of his childhood. He knows hes a big boy now but refuses to give it up and still drags it with im to friends houses for sleepovers. Its pefectly normal. My daughter never got attached to anything like that but some kids do. Leave him alone, when hes grows out of it you'll know.
I cut a small square from the blanket and let him put it in his pocket during the day. Tell him he can have the big blanket at night. I also used this with mine with a stuffed animal she had a lil version during the day and the full size one at night.
My eight year old daughter and six year old son still sleep with their "night-nights". They are allowed only to have them at night or if they are sick. They are in shreds from being washed so much. We have tried to replace them but the kids are too attached to the original. When I was little my mom decided to get rid of my security blanket. She told me she washed it and it disappeared. I cried for days and kept checking the washer to make sure it wasn't there. I think that was so unfair on her part. I was a little kid and that made me just a little more comfortable. Why take that away from a kid?
It is not unusual for a your son to be attached to his blanket. I wouldn't try to wean him off the blanket. It's a source of comfort to him.
he's fine. It's not going to affect him in adulthood. Your son may be doing it because something has changed in the home that he thinks is drastic. Let him let go. Don't try to wean him other than maybe letting him take it to the store and stuff, but telling him that he has to leave it in the car or something. That way you can work up to him having it only at home and he will be okay with that. but hes only 2. Give him some time. He will work it all out.
My son was attached to this stuffed puppy forever. Up till about 5 or 6. He was cool with it. Only slept with it and then just forgot about it. It wont hurt him at all.
It is perfectly normal for him to keep his blanket with him. I had a favorite blanket that I had... and I still dragged it with me everywhere, until the unfortunate day that I took it with me to the mall. I was 4 when I lost it at the mall. I cried and cried and cried...but eventually just forgot about it. It's a security thing for him so don't take it away.. just let him lose interest on his own, which he will eventually.
My daughter will be three next month and still has one. My son was three when he gave his up. They will give it up on his own. If he is potty trained and on a regular cup, then ok. Let him have this one thing. Do not let him take it to school when he starts. It will end when he is ready for it to. They grow up all to fast as it is.
it is normal my son is 5 and he loves his baby blanket i would like him to love on is blanket than a bottle or a binkie

Our two year old son also has a strong attachment to his blankie. We're totally okay with it. I'm sure there'll be a day he outgrows it, but for now it's what he needs/wants.
It's funny, though, because when we go out somewhere we can have a number of costly items (cameras, wallets, etc) and our one concern is where our boy's blankie is. Heaven forbid if he ever lost that! :)
hide from him when he sleeps and tell him that a doggy came to take it lol
it's fine.
I remember when I was about 10, one of my friends had a new baby brother, so we wanted to make something for him. We decided on a blanket, after we found out all 5 of us still had our baby blankets ( I think mine is still somewhere in the house)
which just shows that there is nothing wrong with it
