Ren, I'm def with you on this one. I think that sort of information is a HORRIBLE. Eye contact has such an important part to play in bonding with your baby, and in those early days develping those strong bonds are just so important. I mean, you didn't get to know and bond with your husband by not looking into his eyes, did you??

I feel so sad to think of all the mums that follow that kind of advice , and miss out on all that special time watching their little one's beautiful facial expressions as they snuggle into you. To miss that would be devastating IMO, I don't care if it makes a "good" sleeper. I want to enjoy my babies, every moment is so precious.
