Let me ask briefly: baby sleep secure attachment?

Short answer: they support each other but aren't the same. Secure attachment develops through responsive, consistent responses to your baby's needs—so picking them up when they cry and providing physical closeness actually strengthens attachment. The AAP recommends babies sleep in their own bed, on their back, on an empty bed, but this doesn't prevent attachment; daytime skin-to-skin contact and reassuring routines already nourish attachment. So you can follow safe sleep rules while also being a warm, responsive parent—they're not alternatives to each other.
