Rendition As Books The Attachment Parenting Book: A Commonsense Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Baby
America's foremost baby and childcare experts, William Sears M.D. and Martha Sears, R.N., explain the benefits -- for both you and your child -- of connecting with your baby early.Would you and your baby both sleep better if you shared a bed? How old is too old for breastfeeding? What is a father's role in nurturing a newborn? How does early attachment foster a child's eventual independence?
Dr. Bill and Martha Sears -- the doctor-and-nurse, husband-and-wife team who coined the term "attachment parenting" -- answer these and many more questions in this practical, inspiring guide. Attachment parenting is a style of parenting that encourages a strong early attachment, and advocates parental responsiveness to babies' dependency needs.
The Attachment Parenting Book clearly explains the six "Baby B's" that form the basis of this popular parenting style: Bonding, Breastfeeding, Babywearing, Bedding close to baby, Belief in the language value of baby's cry, and Beware of baby trainers. Here's all the information you need to achieve your most important goals as a new parent: to know your child, to help your child feel right, and to enjoy parenting.

In our family, this is the definitive parenting book. Rather than extolling the virtues of being a wire-monkey Mama, and getting your newborn/infant to adapt to *your* busy life, Dr. Sears gently shows that it's OK to listen to your parenting instincts. Hold your baby...breastfeed your baby...sleep with your baby...and by all means, pick your baby up when she cries! In a culture that prizes independence beyond just about all else, Dr. Sears presents evidence that the mainstream parentingI liked this book, but not as much as I thought I would. I followed a lot of attachment parenting principles with my first son, without even knowing it was called that. I just did what made sense and came instinctively to me. It made me feel better (and easier for us to work on his struggling nursing issues) to have him close to me at night than to put him all alone in a separate room. It was easier to wear him and have my hands free than carry him all around or deal with bringing a stroller
When my daughter was about 2 months old she stopped sleeping in her crib. One morning after a horrible night of neither of us sleeping, I bundled her up and walked to my mom's place. My mom took one look at us and told us to go sleep in the spare room. As tired as I was, I was terrified of co-sleeping but my mom promised to check in on us every few minutes to make sure I didn't roll over onto her. We slept that way the entire day and when we awoke my mom said I hadn't moved at all except for
There are parts I enjoyed about this book and parts I did not agree with. For example, I did not agree with co-sleeping (same bed) or being ok with frequent night wakings. I value my sleep too much. The book said that those who have a young baby and say they are sleeping through the night are lying. My baby legitimately slept 10-12 hours at 2 months old with no wakings to feed. I do love some of the other "baby Bs" such as baby wear and breastfeeding, but also love to put my baby in the stroller
Instinctively hate parenting books. But on the way to becoming an actual parent, figured I should read some anyhow. Because I was never one of those kids who liked dolls. Or littler kids. Or ... people, really, TBH. Plus, I embarked on the parenting journey at a pretty unique time. First off, we were at what felt like the forefront of a new approach to parenting. College-educated professional go-getters who knew how to manage a project, we naturally brought our skills to bear on the childbearing
Not particularly happy with it. Didn't even finish it. I agree with most of the things that the authors are talking about, but the book itself is pretty much boring and it drags on, saying one thing over and over again.
