Hello, i’m a first-time mum and the bub has just turned 10 months.
New and mostly irrational fears have been popping up every other week for the best part of the last year but today my anxiety seems particularly rattled.
My baby will only sleep in her cot. She sleeps well. The majority of the time, she’ll sleep through the night. Roughly 7pm-7am. And 2 naps generally totalling 3 hours between them.
I appreciate this means i’m incredibly lucky. however it does mean that i’m a bit limited with what i can do out of the house and have to stick to pretty tight timelines which makes things like travelling particularly tricky.
I was talking to some other mums today about travelling and all were saying how they just schedule their flights at the right time and generally the baby will fall asleep on them.
My LO would NEVER fall asleep on me. Ever.
While it’s not ideal when on a plane, i can deal with it and know that i’d have a much harder time if the opposite were true and she only slept on me… but i am starting to wonder if there is a bonding or attachment issue.
I’ve always thought she seemed quite independent which is great and something i’d like to encourage in her…. But could this indicate something problematic? Like a lack of connection to us?
Happy to be told that i’m just being completely ridiculous so don’t hold back.
