Do you cuddle with your dolls?

I've been feeling a little silly about this, so I figured I'd see if anyone else can relate. I recently got a new doll. It's a Dollfie Dream and I absolutely adore her. I've always slept with my old stuffed toy, surrounded myself with a lot of pillows in bed so I'm considering cuddling with her too. The thing is, I'm so worried I'll accidentally mess her up. I know they're pretty durable, but every time I go to give her a little hug, I get this feeling like I'm going to snap her delicate limbs or something. I end up just holding her gently at arm's length, but one time I unintentionally dozed off. It's this weird conflict of wanting to show her affection but being too scared to actually do it. So I settle for just holding her hand or a gentle lean. Does anyone else feel this way? Or do you have a specific doll that you're more comfortable hugging than others?
 
Try using pillows or a soft surface so you can hold her gently without stressing the doll, and small touches like holding hands are totally fine ways to show affection
 
I have a friend in Pennsylvania, she takes her naptime cuddles on a soft surface so if she shifts around in your sleep, it can act as cushioning.
Her wig might get a little messy in a the worst case, but that's fixable I guess right?
