Attachment parenting?

Do any of you do Attachment Parenting?

We obviously aren't parents yet, but we do not plan on doing this either...

I'm not a puist by any measure, but I co-slept for the first three months, DH and I wear DD, and I'm toying with EC. I feed on demand, etc.

Check out the AP board. The ladies are friendly and helpful.

I don't do "all" of the things, but I do alot.  We don't cosleep.

I do like to "babywear", it makes me feel really close to DD.  I did/do feed on demand, especially the first few months.  I also feel that BFing is very important, and put a lot of effort into BFing DD, even though I'm back at work.

The AP board is very friendly and helpful!!

Maybe I do a little attachment parenting and don't realize it?  I BF on demand, and we co-slept for the first couple of months because it was the only way I could get him to sleep at night.

I didn't even know what AP was until a few months ago...basically, it's just being around your baby all the time, and loving on them alot, etc...being very attentive...so you probably do someof it without knowing.

I never thought it would be for me-- I've seen some pretty kooky beliefs and practices with AP...but I think the idea of it as it was intended is a great way to go for a NB for the first 3 months or so.

We don't co-sleep as a practice, but will if its been a hard night for her and us. I breastfeed but don't like to do it in public (I will find somewhere private or use a bottle)....etc, etc

Oh, our babies are a week apart!  OMG!  You use cloth diapers?  I can't imagine using them yet.  Can't wait till he doesn't pee as much though so we can!
