| Is it OK to sleep with your newborn baby? How old is too old for breastfeeding? These questions and more are answered in this latest addition to the Sears Parenting Library. Attachment Parenting encourages early, strong, and sustained attention to the new babys needs and this book outlines the steps that will create the most lasting bonds between parents and their children. Practical and inspirational, this book, the heart of the Sears parenting creed, is a necessity for every new parents' bookshelf. William Sears, M.D., and Martha Sears, R.N., are widely regarded as North Americas foremost baby and childcare experts and have had success with their previous 16 books addressing parenting issues. William Sears, M.D., is a contributing editor to Parenting and Baby Talk magazines, as well as the parenting.com web site. The most-frequently asked parenting questions from this site have now been compiled into four easy-to-read FAQ books: The First Three Months, How To Get Your Baby to Sleep, Feeding the Picky Eater, and Keeping Your Baby Healthy. |

 Written on August 6, 2006 Summary: Decide for yourself about attachment parenting Before I read this book, "attachment parenting" was just a phrase I'd heard thrown around--with good and bad connotations. This book explains the principles of attachment parenting, the benefits of it, and the challenges. When I reach a time in my life where I'm ready to have a baby, I am definitely going to try out some of these techniques. I already knew I was going to try breastfeeding for at least a year, but now I'll add to that trying out the baby sling and bed sharing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's heard about attachment parenting (especially if all you've heard is other peoples' opinions). Read this book and decide for yourself what parenting style you'd like to try.  Written on June 11, 2006 Summary: Important to interpret non-dogmatically I read many Attachment Parenting books, including this one, before my daughter was born and was planning on implementing all the suggestions to the letter. My newborn daughter had her own opinions! The only thing that worked for us was the breastfeeding, and I breastfed her for 19 mo. She hated the sling, much to my disappointment, as I had had visions of carrying her in the sling while going about my daily chores. She preferred to be held in my arms or ride in the stroller! As for the "family bed" --she was never able to sleep more than 1.5 hrs at a time while sleeping with me, but when I gradually transitioned her to a crib at 6 weeks, she started sleeping 3 hrs at a stretch. She recently turned 2, and over the last 2 years I've tried bringing her back to bed with us with no success. She just prefers to sleep on her own. I struggled with many feelings of confusion and frustration with Attachment Parenting until I realized that I am incredibly attached to my daughter! We are extremely bonded to each other. And this bond was not shaken in the least when I chose to let her cry to sleep at 12 months. She did not become clingy or fearful, and in fact, her mood and behavior improved noticeably because she was getting better sleep. My point is this: If following the "letter of the law" of Attachment Parenting works for you, then great! But let's not make Attachment Parenting into a dogmatic religion. I've encountered a tremendous amout of judgemental and intolerant attitudes from AP types, which baffles me. I was even censored by Mothering.com for telling my cry-to-sleep story. My daughter is a happy, secure, confident, empathetic, very social, and very intelligent toddler who proves wrong anyone who says the only way to raise a child is to follow the letter of the AP law. Take what works for you and let's please try not to be judgemental of our fellow parents! AP parents tend to be very intelligent and progressive people--why then so much dogmatism? Written on April 20, 2006 Summary: Very validating! I bought this book when I started to learn about "babywearing" your baby in a sling. I have a preterm, high-need infant that was constantly crying unless she was held (if she was held she was perfect). I didn't mind holding her all the time, but I needed to get other things done as well. She wasn't gaining weight properly due to excessive calorie loss from crying, thus started the baby wearing. I must mention that she is breasfed and also sleeps with me (hubby sleeps separatly for now) and that I'm a stay at home mom. This book encourages a very hands-on type of parenting, and I can imagine that it's not for everyone (though it should be)! Dr. Sears really understands infants needs from a physiological as well as psychological point of view, and all his reasonings made perfect sense to me. When I bought the book I was already using most of the tools he recommends for this type of parenting out of instinct, and this book provided validation to me that I was doing things "right". I had met with a lot of negative input from various family members about 'spoiling' and 'crying it out' neither of which I could really agree with. If you believe in crying it out, this book is not for you! However if you yearn for a deep connection and very strong bond with your baby I strongly recommend this book both as a mother and a nurse. My 31 week preterm baby has now gained an appropriate amount of weight and is a totally different baby from when I brought her home after a two month hospital stay and I attribute this to reading (then implementing) Attachment Parenting. Written on February 24, 2006 Summary: Wish I would have gotten this BEFORE having the baby This book was GREAT! I wish I would have purchased this before having the baby. Instead I purchased it 3 months after having the baby after I had read a lot of other nonsense from other "experts". This book really made a lot of sense in that it treats having a baby/child more like a LIFESTYLE (which having children is a change in lifestyle). The other books I read seemed to be treating the baby like a nuisance or inconvenience rather than a human life. This book really helped me to relax and get away from the idea of schedule or routine with the baby and go more with the flow of treating the baby like a person with her own needs rather than a dog to train to be on a schedule. Written on February 17, 2006 Summary: Commonsense is right I appreciated having my instincts validated by the Sears. This book takes all the vague ideas I've had about parenting and lays them out in an easy, readable, and sensible way. |
