他們都在睡覺
琴日睇到一篇文章，最後一段實在太優美，必須要同各位媽咪分享
Eileen Henry係我喺嬰幼兒睡眠界嘅偶像，好多我所講嘅心法，都係喺佢度學返嚟

他們都在睡覺。
她閉上眼睛，知道她的孩子在附近，很安全。
只要孩子生理上仍然需要夜奶，她就會在晚上餵她的孩子。
她可以在床上自由自在地移動，亦知道她的孩子可以在自己床上做同樣的事情，並且感到安全和安心。
她相信孩子有任何需要的話，都會讓她知道，所以能夠安心入睡。
她的孩子相信父母是可靠的，會作出一致的回應，所以也能安心入睡。
孩子偶爾會睡得不好，因為睡眠並非直線發展的。但大多數晚上，全家人都能夠在安全可靠的家中放鬆身心，因為他們知道自己每晚都能夠入睡，得到充足休息。
孩子對分離並不抗拒，因為知道她會在自己有需要的每一個晚上，出現在身邊。當早上醒來開始新的一天時，父母會來找他，快樂地團聚。
學習任何新技能，一開始都會感到奇怪和不習慣。但隨著不斷練習，孩子會掌握到這項技能，而且她和孩子都喜歡睡覺這件事。
放鬆，休息，放手，睡覺。
媽媽擁有充足睡眠，是一種自我照顧和自愛的行為。也是作為媽媽，要以身作則為孩子示範幸福的基本要素 -- 睡眠。

原文：
THEY ARE ALL SLEEPING
She closes her eyes knowing that her child is safe nearby.
She feeds her child in the night as long as there is an authentic need for food in the night.
She moves freely in her bed with comfort and ease knowing her baby can do the same in his own bed feeling safe and secure.
She trusts that her child will let her know if he needs her, she surrenders to sweet sleep.
Her child trusts his parents are reliable and consistent in their responsiveness and he too surrenders to sleep.
Every night will be different because development is not linear. But most nights the entire family will relax within the safe and secure walls of the home knowing that they are cozy in their sleep sanctuaries and sleep can reliably happen there.
There is no harm in separateness because her child knows she will come to him in his sleep space thousands of times. His parents will come to him for reassurance and in joyous reuniting when they awake to start their day.
Learning any new skill feels awkward and weird at first. With practice comes mastery and more often than not she loves her nightly sleep and so does her child.
Relax, rest, let go and sleep.
A mother’s full night in sleep is an act of self-care and self-love. She is modeling this foundational element of wellbeing – sleep
