My eldest son did nurse his beloved blue teddy bear (appropriately named Touton Bleu) but not nearly as much as my daughter (5 years next month) nursed her numerous dolls; however, I also saw her giving the bottle one of the dolls brought (a gift from Grand-Maman). When quizzed, she answered:"But I give the bottle only when I am not there". My youngest son (2 years next month) is still nursing only himself, and on me.
