Primarily his diminishing the value of a non-breastfeeding parent, be that a dad, a birth mother that isn't breastfeeding, or a non gestational mother. And let's be honest, baby wearing isn't always a practical option. But that doesn't mean a baby is any less well adjusted, cared for, happy, or developmentally stimulated. Every baby and every parent is different and I firmly believe that the best parent/baby relationships are the ones where each person's needs are considered individually. What works for some won't necessarily work for all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460598189914522487.post-52174459607227702452009-10-01T20:13:17.703-04:002009-10-01T20:13:17.703-04:00Who is this from?

LOL I raised Deion with schedules and he didn't sleep with me and I didn't wear him and I didn't breastfeed and I knew each of his cries, each of his whines, each of his moods, each of his moves... and he's grown into a loving, caring, gentle, open minded, and wonderful now *gulp* 16 year old young man. I realize it's from a book and certainly an opinion... but I wanted to give an example of a #6 paragraph parent for whom that type of raising worked out for. :)deionsmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460598189914522487.post-16774097348947277482009-10-01T16:43:59.028-04:002009-10-01T16:43:59.028-04:00Hmm, you notice how I got all linky for 7/8 of the...Hmm, you notice how I got all linky for 7/8 of the Bs there? <br /><br />I'm actually just linking to more details on the topics from Dr. Sears, but I did consider adding some links to previous posts on each topic. <br /><br />I probably could, for those seven, but balance? <br /><br />Yeah, sorry, can't help you there.Whozathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124650016035178968noreply@blogger.com
