I also tend to call it "common sense parenting" ie baby cries - pick him/her up. For me it always seems that more mainstream methods of parenting make you go against that little voice in your head while AP is right there with it.Harmonic Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259200631727576007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9988715.post-1129184429090323822005-10-13T14:20:00.000+08:002005-10-13T14:20:00.000+08:00yea..I bumped into this term a couple of months ba...yea..I bumped into this term a couple of months back....i didn't know a term existed.

Its doing what comes naturally to us as a parent and being in tune with your baby's needs or giving your older child the attention and love they need to thrive. To me, parenting is "To each his own." As long as you and your child are happy with your arrangements that suit your family and your lifestyle, theres no need to worry too much about what this book/that person says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9988715.post-1128929024782559112005-10-10T15:23:00.001+08:002005-10-10T15:23:00.001+08:00The one thing I liked about this Attachment Parent...The one thing I liked about this Attachment Parenting thing is that it is flexible for each child. I don't pretend to be an expert in this field but I believe it would boil down to this question: Why you do what you do?<BR/>Is it for the best interest of the child or the best interest of the mother? <BR/>In my opinion, the motive for our actions would be what defines Attachment Parenting. I take the list as a guideline and not necessarily the rule to Attachment Parenting. <BR/>For example, do you have your child sleep separate from you because your MAIN concern is for the safety of your child or because you want your child to learn independance? <BR/>Are your actions dictated by your motherly instincts or by "nagging" from outside influence?<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I've only just heard about Attachment Parenting. However it seems to me the "spirit of the law" is what defines it and not the "letter of the law". Anyone else agrees with me?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06434176856107304383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9988715.post-1128929000289738992005-10-10T15:23:00.000+08:002005-10-10T15:23:00.000+08:00What they are saying is great, but just one thing ...What they are saying is great, but just one thing concerned me, in England we've noticed a horrible tendancy in cot death in the past few years. The babies are often not in their cot, they are in bed with their parents.<BR/>I'm not saying don't sleep with the baby in bed with you at all, but be mindful the baby might get too hot. A suggestion they are giving is have a moses basket right by the bed, so you can hold the baby in bed till he/she is asleep, then put them in the moses basket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9988715.post-1128928927099731952005-10-10T15:22:00.000+08:002005-10-10T15:22:00.000+08:00I'm thinking there is a happy medium.

She thinks snuggling in bed together is great, she's been only in a crib or her own bed since birth. She's independant and enjoys the together time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
