"I still maintain you're not bonding with your baby at 3 am"
I'm not so sure about that. There's a lot happening beneath the surface both biologically and psychologically (on both sides) when a parent soothes a baby at 3am.
- pj_mukh 3y agoWell, the key differentiator is at 3am. I haven't seen any evidence that the bonding at those times is somehow special. I am assuming you are bonding with the baby at other times during the day.
- kqr 3y agoI agree. I'd much rather sleep at night and bond both consciously and get whatever happens "beneath the surface", well-rested during the day. The alternative is that I'm cranky both night and day and only get that thing that happens "beneath the surface" without the awsome beautiful conscious bit that I personally really care about. But not all people get cranky from a lack of sleep, so this will vary between families!
