It’s Attachment Parenting Month: Relax, Relate, Rejuvenate

I just received my Mothering newsletter and learned that

October is Attachment Parenting Month!

I’m a proud supporter of Attachment Parenting. I loved co-sleeping with my baby from the day he was born, breastfed my son for years, and in general believe in trusting my instincts and creating a close bond to my child with gentle parenting choices.

All of those parenting choices seemed intuitive to me, but two years into motherhood I learned that my parenting style had a name: AP

Are you interested in

• natural birth
• breastfeeding
• gentle attachment parenting
• child-led weaning
• cloth diapering
• babywearing
• bed sharing and co-sleeping

Then Dagmar’s momsense is a blog for you. I offer many resources about these subjects, and even though Landon is almost 6 now, I will continue to be interested in and write about what is new about natural birth, breastfeeding, babywearing, and co-sleeping.

Are you new to attachment parenting and wondering about its advantages? Here are more resources and information about AP by AP International.
