the post is about caring too much/only about something/someone we care about, and it does not imply about not caring/not favouring yourself
caring about your child has a priority on caring about you, hence the topic of the post
Indeed, I would argue that it is important to care about oneself, if you want to help others for example, or have a nice life (or for example if you want to get a promotion, etc...).
But when you care too much, and do not look into the big picture of your actions, bad things can happen. Simple naive example: European lords/current dictators sucking up the money to build for themselves better castles/palaces instead of pouring some into society.
Why can’t you equally argue “caring for oneself may increase human suffering”, and thus demand that you never favor yourself over other people?
This statement would not apply here, because:
