SO good to hear someone else say this: It feels unnatural for me to be sending my child away from family for long periods, no matter how safe the other environment is. i'm really sorry you're having these concerns with nisarga -- having more or less wasted (i'd now say) my baby's infancy worrying over whether he was "on track" with all the things he ought to have been doing, i think i can imagine how you feel. i wish there was somehow i could say to help -- some super counterintuitive thing is prompting me to suggest supposing you tried not more independence but actually less? along the whole "attachment parenting" line, supposing you carried him more, wore him actually pretty much 24/7, and just let him soak in being with you till he's had enough? (that is, if he's okay with your wearing him -- i never could with mine, he pretty much hated it!) sorry for the totally unsolicited and probably wholly misinformed advice. wow!

i’m really sorry you’re having these concerns with nisarga — having more or less wasted (i’d now say) my baby’s infancy worrying over whether he was “on track” with all the things he ought to have been doing, i think i can imagine how you feel. i wish there was somehow i could say to help — some super counterintuitive thing is prompting me to suggest supposing you tried not more independence but actually less? along the whole “attachment parenting” line, supposing you carried him more, wore him actually pretty much 24/7, and just let him soak in being with you till he’s had enough?
