This is something I have always felt guilty about or a failure about in regards to how I raised my children. This is encouraging though.
New mothers are often told that once they've fed, burped, and changed their baby they should leave their baby alone to self-soothe if they cry because all of their needs have been met. One day I hope all mothers will smile confidently and say, "I gave birth to a baby, not just a digestive system. My baby has a brain that needs to learn trust and a heart that needs love. I will meet all of my baby's needs, emotional, mental and physical. I'll respond to every cry because crying is communication, not manipulation." -Unknown
