Yes, she is comfy and very affectionate - with us. Very well, I will put
the bear in her chair during the day? She has her bed for night. Should I
move it in there or just give her time with it in her chair?

I've never had a girl like her with such problems. It would be nice if she
could find comfort in that bear, although she get plenty from us whenever
she wants to)

Thanks Will report back)
