“If you don’t let that baby sleep somewhere on his own,” the prickly nurse said, “he’ll have attachment issues later on.”
“Really?” I said. “Like he might actually like me in 10 years?” This was after the birth of my fifth baby – so I was a bit more confident in my parenting skills. However, I was not so confident 16 years ago when I had my first, and then quickly after, my second baby. Both of whom slept with me. Often at the same time.
My two oldest children are now 16 and 15 and let me tell you – neither has any desire at all to spend anytime in my room – let alone my bed.
So, we can put this to rest right now. If you let your baby sleep with you he or she will not go to college with a pillow for you. I promise. It will not happen.
