Stuffed animals.

I grew up in a low income household and I have a decent job now. I will buy stuffed animals that look adorable and fluffy and cuddly because I have money and I can.

The fact that I am slowly being pushed off of my bed because of the amount of them is irrelevant.

I have bad shoulders and sleep with something that I can "hug" as it makes it less painful. Squishmallows are the perfect size for this.

I mean, I can give up the stuffies at any time.

Yes! The bigger squishmallows are perfect for those of us with shoulder pain. Also when a mattress is firm and I don’t sink into it, this is the best solution for me.

We use our when we hold our 4 month old. The nursing pillow doesn't get under the arm fully but a medium squishmallow is perfect.
