I have a teddy bear that I've had since childhood and I still sleep with him next to me now. I was just wondering if anyone else does the same or still has teddies of their own?

I sometimes sleep with teddies, but not the bear type. Wink

Does that count? Smile

I mean a teddy, not teddies. That would be silly to wear more than one at a time Rolling Eyes

All of my teddy bears are of the living, breathing human variety LOL

I left my teddy bear at my parents' house, but I still sleep with it next to me whenever we go for shabbos.

I also have a baby blanket that I slept with until I was married. Then I used it to swaddle my baby.

My husband, however, brought his teddy bear with him. Some nights, he sleeps with it next to him. Some nights, I sleep with it next to me. Some nights, we let the baby sleep with it. It's getting a lot of love from our family :-)

No. I never slept with a teddy bear. I don't even sleep with a pillow. Go figure...

I assume if you do so that is permissible, but I would not have imagined so! Lucky you!

I sleep with a raccoon, not a teddy. I used it as a kid (it was a rainy day project once). In later years I used it under my pillow to give it a half-pillow's height of additional height (2 pillows are too much). Now I lay my baby on it while nursing him Smile

His name is Ricky.

Why on earth would this not be permissible?

I have a bunch of teddy bears, but I sleep with Patrick the pup. He's big and cuddly Smile

I sleep with a teddy on nights I need comfort no one else can give me...
When I got married I left it at moms house but after a few months I took it back.

I have a stuffed animal I use as an extra "breast-support pillow." It's just the right size and shape. (Was that TMI?)

I sleep with a stuffed beaver (which creates many jokes from DH). Her name is Bedilia.

I'm a side sleeper, and she's great for making sure that I don't hunch my shoulders and wake up with a knot in my back.

I have a cuddly toy panda that my sister got me. I absolutely love pandas (and polar bears), and it looks very real. Cuddly and soft.
I also have a teddy bear that is medium size, brown and very soft and cuddly. It is actually really nice to sleep with it next to me and cuddle while I sleep.
Ok I sound like a weirdo lol
Cute topic Smile

Slept with Paddington bear for years. Then at some point I changed from holding the teddy bear to holding a a soft pillow. We sleep like spoons: DH, me, the pillow.
