Sensory issues show up for kids on a number of different neurodivergent spectrums – from Autism to ADHD.

My child also sucked on his lovey for many years. I would think about going to a small “baby” blanket and get multiples so you can easily throw them into the wash.

Here is my challenge my 6 year old daughter has always been a blanket sucker. Almost every night I find her asleep with it in her mouth- its not just one blanket though I have changed the “main blanket” many times and even taken it out of the room. She will use the bed sheet as a replacement. She has the sensory need to suck but I have been trying to find a replacement that is one easy to keep clean and something that doesn’t effect the teeth. Any ideas?

Absolutely! And my kiddo chews the sippy cup part as well… and then gets mad that there are no tops that haven’t been chewed on. LOL.

Looks like the puppy got ahold of it, but we don’t have a dog. They still use them (We got the Nalgene ones) but they kind of leak. 🙂 thanks for the heads up on why my kid is still interested in using it!

Thanks. It can be tough because I feel that they should have already outgrown these things. But then I remind myself that it doesn’t hurt anyone and actually helps them get the sensory input they need.

Way to go for recognizing the needs that your children have and providing them with an avenue to meet this need!
