But I think having only one primary caregiver that the infant recognizes as a secure figure is not good for an HS parent. An HS parent must receive many breaks from the constant contact. It is an illusion that you as a parent are necessary at all times. Humans evolved within extended families and tribes in which older siblings, grandmothers, and just about anyone regularly took over for the mother so that she could recover from stress, care for an even younger child, or return to working as the ablest adult. Why have we lost track of the naturalness of multiple caregivers?
