usually baby-safe, fun to grab, chew, or whip around for playtime, and a nice companion to cuddle for bedtime! and something they may hang on to for years.

This NYT piece from last year explains why it’s actually a Good and Normal thing to do. I used to have like six in the bed at once but recently culled my crew to two practical ones: this sleeping Charmander plushie, which I hug while I’m in the fetal position, and an Ugly Doll I put between my knees because it’s nice and flat. They're so comfy and I fall asleep in 30 seconds like this (also they’re cute and I love them)
just a lil stuffed animal pocket sized friend (Lucas and Peanut, respectively) to inject serotonin and merriment into your day and ur life plot. we sneak the frog with us to bars and new restaurants
