Keep the object close to him during your regular bedtime routine so that he comes to associate it with sleep. Many babies use a soft, infant-safe stuffed animal or small blanket. Some moms wear a small cloth inside their shirt for a few hours and then let the baby cuddle and smell that cloth with Mommy’s scent on it at bedtime.
