Kristi,

Attachment parenting is a style of parenting that was made popular by &

Sears. He is a doc and she is a nurse. They have 8 kids. The basic

philosophy is staying attached to your child by breastfeeding, sleeping

together, wearing your baby in a sling or carrier, and responding to their

needs. Not letting them cry it out. Feeding them on demand, when they are

hungry. Just being connected with your child. They have a book called the Baby

Book. It is my bible. I just got another book of theirs called the Discipline

Book and it is great. Has a lot of stuff about how to avoid trouble with

toddlers. It is just a continuation of the same parenting style of the other

book, but goes farther on in age. I think that my kids have really benefited

from this style of parenting. I also homeschool. Just couldn't send my babies

off. I think being a single mother and having to work that this style of

parenting could really benefit you. It would make it easier for your baby to

deal with you leaving and for you too. It sounds like you already are

practicing a lot of this style.

From: Klh78@...

I have a question... what exactly is attached parenting? I have heard lots of

you talk about it and I have never heard of it before.

Also, ... I hardly ever feel let-down either. But sometimes I wonder

if it is because your breasts don't get totally empty when the baby nurses on

them. I wouldn't really worry about it though.. it seems like there are a lot

of people who don't feel the let-down.
