Our society is *obsessed* with independence. We somehow think it's the mark of a well adjusted child to be able to separate easily from their parents, but this is a gross misunderstanding of how children are meant to attach.

I see companies guaranteeing that babies are going to sleep through the night at 3,4,5,6,7,8 months in 14 days and I am absolutely blown away by this claim. The expectation is that the baby will go from 6pm to 6 am without calling for the parent in as little as 14 days??!!!
