Yes Momof4 they do have their blankie or lovie. I think it does help. When they start here I do the 5-10-15 when they are having a difficult time during nap. It's normal for them to feel unsure about things ... but when they do just fine during daytime and meal time then I think they need to learn to sleep and sooth on their own. So that's what has been happening for the past 4 weeks. Anyway when we do see progress no matter how little it just feels so good ! Today I felt like the best daycare provide EVER and just yesterday I was looking at job adds LOL. Ok maybe not that extreme but you all know what I"m talking about I'm sure.
