@mammabump: 🤍 Co-sleeping and contact naps are not “bad habits.” They are often exactly what your baby’s nervous system is asking for. 🫶🏻 Babies are biologically wired for closeness. For thousands of years, human babies slept close to their caregivers. In fact, most mammals maintain physical contact with their young. We’re one of the only species ever told that closeness might be a problem. But connection is not a problem. ✨ If co-sleeping works for your family, if contact naps are the only way anyone gets some rest, that doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It means you’re responding to your baby. And if co-sleeping or contact naps don’t work for you, that’s okay too. Every family is different. 💛 But if you’re carrying guilt because of what you’ve read online or what someone else thinks you “should” be doing, let this be your reminder: You are not failing. You are not creating bad habits. You are not spoiling your baby. You’re meeting a need. 🤱 There is no single “right” way to approach baby sleep. There is only what works for your baby, your family, and this season of life. 🌙 💾 Save this for the days you need reassurance. 👯‍♀️ Share it with a mum who needs to hear it. #motherhood #babysleeping #cosleeping
