1. You can't spoil a baby
2. A more secure attachment leads to more independent kids not the other way around
3. Daytime sleep and overnight sleep use a different part of the brain- many many families successfully sleep train overnight when age appropriate and continue to contact, stroller, carrier nap during the day - some want it, some out of necessity( multiple kids, school pick up...)
4. Your Ncs should never be guilting or shaming you
The danger comes if you're sleep deprived trying to hold them all night long. But if you are awake and not at risk for falling asleep then please contact nap with your child.
+1 I’ve had contact naps with all 5 of my babies. It’s important for bonding! We are mammals.
