Attachment Parenting

i never realized that rob and i practiced attachment parenting. i didn't know that by allowing my baby to co-sleep (never intended to do this with my babies), breastfeeding, keeping them very close to me (holding them constantly or wearing them), not allowing them to cry to cry it out, and never putting them on a strict schedule, was considered attachment parenting. to me it seemed like the right way to do things. i know a lot of friends disagree with my way of parenting, but i also know a lot of my friends agree with what we do. i also know that there have been plenty of times when i just wish i could sleep in my bed without having a child in it or after 16 months of breastfeeding he would finally stop--but i wouldn't change it! i love being this close to my boys. i love that my boys are extremely attached to my husband and i. my boys are still outgoing, they are okay with being at other people's houses, they are okay with spending the night at friends and families homes...they still feel secure. so i think that rob and i have done a great job at raising (so far) kids who are very close to us, know that we love them, and yet feel secure when they are away from us! who knew that breastfeeding, co-sleeping, no schedules, and babywearing would make this momma so happy to have made the choices she did!
