Benefits of Co-Sleeping with Your Child
No. You're not spoiling your child. You're making your child feel safe.
The Benefits and Safe Practices of Co-Sleeping with Children
In this post, I’d like to discuss the benefits of co-sleeping. Infant sleep is a controversial topic. I’m here to share my experience.
I’ve read several heated online debates. Often, parents react on the defensive. I get it. Almost everyone on the internet feels personally victimized. We make it personal. But, it is not personal.
My decision to co-sleep aligns with everything else I believe about parenting. Gentle and respectful parenting paves the way for healthy adults.
Understanding Infant Sleep
Our babies' sleep is not linear. It evolves. It takes a few years before our children can sleep on their own, and that’s normal.
Infants’ sleep patterns are largely governed by their internal biological rhythms and developmental needs.
In the earliest months of life, infants have irregular sleep cycles. Their brains are still developing the circadian rhythms that dictate the human sleep-wake cycle. During this period, babies often wake up because they eat more frequently.
