Hello!
A new writer has taken over The Attached Mother. Hopefully I can pick this blog back up where it left off. If my name sounds familiar I am also the writer for Mom Is Teaching and Creative Mom Cafe. Now I’ll also be sharing my views on attachment parenting. I hope that I’ll have something to say that you’ll enjoy reading.
For those who don’t know me I should share some about me. I’m a stay at home mom of two boys who are both very attached. It is a learning experience, every day I learn something new about parenting. When my oldest son was little I was unsure and not used to following my instincts. We coslept for the first four months and only breastfed for 15 months. I had not even heard of a sling or carrier and did not have one until he was a year old. With my second though I had learned more about the type of parent I wanted to be. We coslept until he was 18 months and he is still nursing frequently during the day.
I follow a natural family lifestyle that, for us, is very intertwined with attachment style parenting. I try to use the 7 tools of attachment along with my own views to piece together how I choose to parent my children. You might not agree with everything that I do, and not all of it falls strictly in AP lines. But I hope that what I share helps and encourages other parents who are interested in raising attached children.

Thanks for sharing your parenting style. here is no right style for every parent. You need to assess a number of things. How did your parents raise you? Was this successful do you think? What do the experts suggest? Have you spoken with other parents to see which style they use and, if so, what information have you obtained?
