The Attachment Parenting Book : A Commonsense Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Baby
America''s foremost baby and childcare experts, William Sears M.D. and Martha Sears, R.N., explain the benefits -- for both you and your child -- of connecting with your baby early.
Would you and your baby both sleep better if you shared a bed? How old is too old for breastfeeding? What is a father''s role in nurturing a newborn? How does early attachment foster a child''s eventual independence?
Dr. Bill and Martha Sears -- the doctor-and-nurse, husband-and-wife team who coined the term "attachment parenting" -- answer these and many more questions in this practical, inspiring guide. Attachment parenting is a style of parenting that encourages a strong early attachment, and advocates parental responsiveness to babies'' dependency needs.
The Attachment Parenting Book clearly explains the six "Baby B''s" that form the basis of this popular parenting style: Bonding, Breastfeeding, Babywearing, Bedding close to baby, Belief in the language value of baby''s cry, and Beware of baby trainers. Here''s all the information you need to achieve your most important goals as a new parent: to know your child, to help your child feel right, and to enjoy parenting.
