Re: Attachment Parenting & Natural Parenting
"away from the advice of well-meaning relatives and friends, away from all the wildly varying opinions in the baby books. Without the influence of culture, this is how God designed us to be. Intuitively, we feel drawn to meet our baby's need for comfort, security, connection, and closeness with such things as gentle touches, nursing, cuddles, and loving words." I LOVE THIS STATEMENT!
It is this very feeling that started me on my quest through various parenting philosophies and found me adopting the 'attached parenting' philosophy. It's not that I advocate every single technique of it, but this is how I started my journey and I'm so thankful that my motherly God-given instincts are prevailing. It is because of this bond given to mother-child that I now co-sleep and feed on demand and in the future plan on practicing extended breastfeeding.
