[quote=Anonymous]You can’t be permissive with a 10 month old, so your husband is missing the mark. An infant needs a responsive, engaged parent and doing so is how you strengthen your bond. That being said, you can encourage her to explore independently or work out minor frustrations on her own. Your baby sounds like my first child, and I think he may just have a needy personality, but I also think our constant engagement fed into it a bit. Our second child who naturally receives less engagement due to us having to share our attention with her brother is much more easygoing and happy to explore her environment on her own terms. I sometimes wonder whether we should have encouraged this more with our first. [/quote]
