Mom, don’t worry: I understand!
Night is a special time in family life. Indeed, unlike the day when everyone lives together, everyone takes refuge in their cozy little nest. This change between day and night allows Baby to understand how the family works: parents on one side, children on the other!
From a certain age, Pitchoun knows when he is not welcome. He feels that at times, mom and dad’s bed is allowed (on Sunday mornings or in an emergency, for example). And that to others, it is forbidden! Thus, it is possible to have moments of intimacy without any remorse!
Just for tonight …
Sleep with mom when dad isn’t around, either. Corn, avoid giving it this habit … screaming and conflicts could become daily at bedtime. And there, hell begins …
It is up to you to decide if you want to preserve the privacy of your couple. Corn, Baby won’t understand if you change your mind! You risk finding yourself in an infernal cycle. If you have two or more children, they will take turns coming to sleep with you. And there you are not ready to spend a night alone!
“I want to be independent!”
It may seem normal for a baby to need his mother during his development.
Dr. Cohen-Solal’s opinion: »Independence being the normal development of any child, this period of intense emotional claim seems to me an excellent guarantee of good development towards future independence. “ |
So, Baby’s desire to slip into your bed can mark the start of his march towards independence! This period is approximately between 10 and 16 months, when your child moves more and more easily.
