Summary: This is a wonderful book
Review: I highly recommend this book. I received it at my baby shower and have already read it several times. My baby was born last week and I find myself turning to the book over and over for reassurance and inspiration. I would read this along with one of the more traditional childcare books, like "What to Expect the First Year" for a complete look at parenting choices. The best thing about this book is the breastfeeding information. Every time I worry about whether I am "doing it right", I just re-read the breastfeeding chapter and feel better.

Summary: Best parenting book out there.
Review: This is definitely the book I want all my pregnant friends to read. As the mother of a nine month old, I have found myself referring to it again and again to reassure me and answer practical questions. It is unlike any other parenting book I've read (and I think I've read them all). Along with The Baby Book, by Dr. WIlliam Sears and So That's What They're For by Janet Tamaro-Natt, Attachment Parenting is a book all parents should have on hand.

Summary: A GREAT source for current supportive research
Review: This is a fantastic book. We are attachment parenting our 13 month old and this book gives a multitude of information and sources for the "cutting edge" research that SUPPORTS attachment parenting. I will be showing this book to my family and friends who have criticized our sharing sleep and extended breastfeeding - it will be pretty hard for them to keep arguing when I have the *facts* to show them and the sources to cite. This book will help us tremendously in defending what we already know is right. Other books may be better for in-depth, detailed "how toos" on attachment parenting ["The Baby Book", "Nightime Parenting" & "The Discipline Book" -all by Sears, "Mothering Your Nursing Toddler", and "Three in a Bed" for instance], but this is the best all around up-to-the-minute defense of attachment parenting I've read yet. The contact information on various helpful organizations is invaluable and I have already made great use of it. This book is definitly going into my baby-shower gift bags from now on!

Summary: A masterpiece !!!
Review: This book presents a wonderful blend of science and practical knowledge that will be most helpful to parents of babies. It was so enjoyable and easy to read that I finished it in two days! I've been a dedicated attachment Mom for almost 12 years. My decision was made in my heart, but I did get lots of negative feedback from others. In spite of that, and thanks to Dr. Sears (who wrote the introduction to this book) I've used this method to raise my three children who are now 8, 10 and 12. They are happy, confident, independent, smart and a joy to be around. Proof that attachment parenting breeds great kids!

Summary: Revolutionary stuff.
Review: This book turned my views about parenting upside down. I am so glad I read it before my baby was born. You owe it to yourself if you are the parent of an infant or toddler, or if you plan to be to read this book.

Summary: A pull in the right direction but incomplete
Review: I really liked this book, but wished that there was more info about how to move beyond a family bed, and how to go about "respectfully weaning" a child when the time comes. If Amercian families are to embrace family bed and yearlong+ nursing, we need guidance to help us move our children into independent toddlerhood. We are trying the family bed with our one month old, but I am wary about how to avoid having a toddler in bed with us in two years!

Summary: A Great Read!!
Review: This is a great book. It really affirms the fact that 'kids are people, too!' and that there is no 'rushing' your baby to sleep through the night. There is much info on the benefits of breastfeeding so if you are a breastfeeding mother already (like me), what I found more interesting and affirming were the writings on bonding, sleeping with your baby and really just enjoying and loving your baby esp. during the breastfeeding months. I stopped feeding my 2 year old when she was a year old and really felt quite sad but my milk really did 'dry up' by then(!). It's just wonderful to read a book where there is so much respect for the child and no one saying that by caring for your baby in this way you will be spoiling her.I never believed that line of thinking.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: Although I don't choose to employ every aspect of attachment parenting, I liked this book because it presented attachment parenting as a menu of choices from which parents can choose depending on their views and lifestyle. As a working mother, I found the approach balanced and reassuring. The author offers her parenting philosophy as a "take what you need and leave the rest behind" type of thing. She repeatedly assures parents that THEY are the real experts when it comes to their own children. She also talks about attachment parenting in a "real world" context: where sometimes parents work, get divorced, have more than one young child to tend to, etc. This is a book that I will turn to again and again and will definitely give to other new parents.
