And while some researchers have suggested there is no correlation between a child's tendency to have
a special cuddly toy and their attachment to their mothers (Van Ijzendoorn et al), others have suggested the contrary, that the more strongly attached a child is, the more likely he is to have an attachment object (Lehman et al).
However, different children have different needs for comfort and make different entrances into the world, into differing environments, so having a close attachment with your mother may not be a clear predictor of being able to do without
a special cuddly toy.
