That doesn't mean there will be no crying, and while I love Elizabeth Pantley's books (The No-Cry Sleep Solution series), I think the name is kind of misleading. Our goal as attachment parents (or just as parents in general) is not to prevent any and all crying, but to view crying as a normal, healthy and valuable way for a baby to communicate with us.<br /><br />I've linked up one of my oldest Parent Vortex posts - the first one I wrote, in fact! <br /><br />Thanks for another great post. :)Michelle @ The Parent Vortexhttp://www.theparentvortex.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-35655803441263600452011-03-14T18:59:42.160-07:002011-03-14T18:59:42.160-07:00I'd say this is one of the biggest issues I ha...I'd say this is one of the biggest issues I have when I'm in public. I'll be in Wal Mart, and I can hear the soft wail of a newborn. I'll hear it go on, and on and on and I'm ready to push MY way past the parent and pick the baby up to see what's going on. I just can't even imagine if it was my own.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169767757479816137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-42589105063005822732011-03-14T18:50:40.131-07:002011-03-14T18:50:40.131-07:00I just found you blog while researching the effect...I just found you blog while researching the effects of baby wearing on independence. I've worn both of my children and loved every minute of it. Lately some friends have me questioning its effects on my children's independence. Anyway, I'm a closet attachment parent. I often feel pressure from friends to not wear, to cry it out, and stop the co sleeping. Loving that your blog helps me feel not so alone in my parenting decisions!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629403440553412989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-33338358108977117832011-03-14T15:22:36.461-07:002011-03-14T15:22:36.461-07:00I'm not a mother yet, but I've begun to fo...I'm not a mother yet, but I've begun to form my own philosophy through reading about different parenting styles; I've gravitated towards attachment parenting and grace-based parenting. Of course, I don't actually know which theories I'll employ until the time comes, but I've used similar principles with my preschool students and have been successful. I've enjoyed your series so far!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067229382048242612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-27764375241775165792011-03-14T08:32:08.486-07:002011-03-14T08:32:08.486-07:00Thank you for this!
