Cosleeping helps create a secure attachment from "summary" of The Attachment Parenting Book by William Sears,Martha Sears
Cosleeping, or sleeping close to your baby, is a practice that has been around for centuries. Many parents around the world choose to cosleep with their babies because it feels natural and instinctual. This practice not only helps promote breastfeeding and nighttime parenting, but it also plays a crucial role in fostering a secure attachment between parent and child. When a baby sleeps close to their parent, they are able to experience a sense of security and comfort that helps regulate their emotions and promote feelings of safety. This closeness allows the baby to feel the parent's presence and respond to their needs in a timely manner, which helps create a strong bond between them. The physical proximity of cosleeping also enables the parent to quickly attend to the baby's needs, such as feeding, changing, or comforting, throughout the night. Furthermore, cosleeping promotes better sleep for both the parent and the baby, as they are able to synchronize their sleep patterns and respond to each other's cues. This shared sleep experience fosters a deep sense of connection and closeness between parent and child, which is essential for building a secure attachment. Research has shown that babies who cosleep with their parents tend to have more secure attachments and develop a strong sense of trust and safety in their relationships. By cosleeping with your baby, you are providing them with the emotional support and reassurance they need to thrive and grow. This practice helps create a nurturing and loving environment that strengthens the parent-child relationship and lays the foundation for a secure attachment. Cosleeping is a natural and instinctual way to promote bonding and closeness with your baby, and it is an essential component of attachment parenting.
