You’re meeting a real need. Hang in there mama 💕
Night waking is a biological protection mechanism, not a flaw in your baby or parenting. Babies are created to wake for nourishment, comfort, connection, and regulation. Their brains and bodies are still developing, frequent waking keeps them safe and helps maintain milk supply, attachment, and hormone balance. We’ve normalized independent sleep so much that we’ve forgotten how biologically dependent infants are meant to be. They’re not “bad sleepers.” They’re human… wired for proximity and connection.
So all this to say, If your baby still wakes, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re meeting a real need.💕
