This is just one topic of so many that is so black and white in the sleep world.
Here’s a reminder that your baby can biologically need and prefer your closeness AND you can have realistic limits on how much you’re able to hold them.
You can be responsive AND practice putting your baby down for little stretches of time.
You can prioritize connection AND want some space to eat a meal, shower, get things done, or just have a moment to yourself.
None of those things make you less responsive or less connected to your baby. 💛💛💛 You’re doing a great job!!
