Do you have to bed-share, breastfeed and baby-wear in order to have a securely attached child?Can your little one be TOO attached? Are you making them clingy by contact napping and feeding on demand?Is it your fault if your baby or toddler has a strong preference for one parent over the other?These are really common questions that come up all the time, and there are also a lot of claims that sleep training will impact attachment as well - but what should we believe? What do we need to know about attachment?To dig a little deeper into this subject I chatted to sleep coach, toddler mum and psychologist Charlotte Inskip who you may have come across online via her Instagram account @theholisticsleepmama For more information about Charlotte and her work, see www.theholisticsleepmama.co.uk/We mention a few books* in this episode:The Power of Showing Up: how parental presence shapes who our kids become and how their brains get wired - by Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne BrysonThe Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did) - by Philippa Perry*these are affiliate links, I make a small commission from each sale
