During the letting-go stage,the mother begins to see the baby as separate from herself.The mother should be able to leave the baby with a sitter,make time for herself,and reconnect with her partner.Overprotective mothers have difficulty with this stage due to trouble accepting help and excluding others,especially the partner.There is no evidence that this mother is resentful,is neglecting all of her personal needs,or has time management problems.
