On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.


As "Linda Richmond" (aka Mike Myers) from SNL would say, "talk amongst yourselves."

I guess the point that I was driving at was lost in my late night rambling. I was trying to say that we should parent to the individuals needs and not those of the past or of the present research. We should instead take the cues of our children. We have a schedule at my house, but it is set by our children's needs and is flexible to suit them (ex. if my older one sleeps then she probably won't take a nap, and that is fine with us, but generally she takes a nap around the same time everyday).

THIS is Attachment Parenting. The feeding methods, sleeping suggestions etc are all just tools.

What you said above is the very HEART of Attachment Parenting.
