Yes she's said that. She also told me to wake my baby up after breastfeeding so she doesn't become dependent on it to fall asleep and can "self-soothe" herself back to sleep. That sounded really weird to me.

Babies can't self-soothe. They just learn that no one will come rescue them or help them so they shut up and stop crying. It's sad. Self-soothing happens much much later.

Sounds like a narcissist/sociopath trying to spread the memetics.

That's advice I've heard before, but it doesn't make any sense to me. It's not just comfort or habit that makes babies fall asleep after nursing, it's the fact that the milk contains hormones that make them sleepy, and, with very young babies, the physical effort of nursing is exhausting.
