Novice DIYer looking to ID/replace part S1 on linked image. Part is spring pressure-switch of some kind. Downward force on S1 component closes circuit.

Did the switch ever click or feel like there was a definite on and off? Or just push till it works?

Based on the features of the nightlight, I'd say it is a combo IR-LED + IR-LDD, plus focusing lens and/or prism.
When pressing the silicone toy, it registers the nearing of the silicone towards the sensor and the light is turned on/off or dimmed.
It could also be a BUTTON but I doubt.. it is too far from the silicone and I don't think there's any pole standing on the button.
Please provide number of pins of this component and a better macro photo.
