This whole they feel secure so they sleep better is BS... children/babies don't wake in the night because they feel insecure. You can comfort them back to sleep, which makes them feel secure. But that's not why they connect their sleep cycles, they connect their sleep cycles because they've learnt to self sooth. Even after that, they wake, but not because they feel insecure

but because of a bad dream, or tummy pains, or teething, or they're thirsty.
As I've said before I sleep trained (gently - not everything is cry it out Trash) but from what I can see my children do not have any attachment issues. They are so unbelievably loved, sometimes I can't believe how much I love them
