WQED Experience: Attachment Parenting

WQED Experience: Attachment Parenting

The Mommy Blogosphere was abuzz whenTime magazine asked “Are you Mom Enough?” That question was accompanied by a provocative cover photo of a mother breast feeding her three year old toddler. “Attachment Parenting” is a practice which commonly includes: breastfeeding into the toddler years, babywearing, responding quickly to baby’s cries, and for some parents co-sleeping bedsharing with their infants and toddlers. WQED goes inside homes of three families who practice and Attachment Parenting, while exploring the philosophy and showing where it fits in to the lives and realities facing parents today.

    I just don’t understand this hang up on being ‘normal’. I seriously don’t understand the hippie stigma.

    This was a really well-done and accurate portrayal of attachment parenting. I wish there were more of that. Thank you!

    Very very interesting, We’ve been doing tons of these things and in fact our baby is the happiest. She’s also learning stuff way ahead of all other kids her age and stuff like that. I think this is legit, if you think about how we were "pre-civilization" I think we probably had our kids with us at all times… wouldn’t that be attachment parenting? I think there’s a lot of truth to this… I sense a blogpost coming.
