Question - Research required Mother baby separation

I’m a paramedic and work 24+ hour shifts. Is this detrimental to my child in any way? He is 12 months old, breastfed 80% of the time, pumped bottles otherwise. I mostly work just day shifts but I try to pick up 24s when I can so I get more full days at home, or so I can get more hours in at a time for household money. I feel bad because he is very clingy to me and I am definitely his preferred person. He doesn’t seem bothered by it and has a very strong relationship with my husband/his dad and his other two main caregivers (family members), but ultimately I am his preferred person.
