I too was going to suggest a blanket or something with mom's scent on it.

When my son was a newborn and I started back to work my dc provider had asked me to do the same thing - bring one of my shirts on his first day. I thought she was crazy, but I did. She ended up not needing it at all. He never really cared who fed him or how he was fed, as long as he was fed. Now, 6 years later, he's not much different. He's a great eater.
