I've been tossing up co-sleeping and baby-wearing and whilst I've really wanted to do it, I've been a bit apprehensive about it as well. This article is really simple, straight to the point and great reinforcement. DH will be given this to read tonight!

Thank you!
Persephone, you won't regret it, it's such a lovely and enjoyable way to parent. I never set out to 'do' attachment parenting, I fell into it because I just loved cuddling and holding bubs and that's what made him happy to. Co-sleeping happened by accident when we went away for a weekend with no cot, and once I discovered it I wondered why I didn't do it from the beginning. So much easier, nicer and so much more sleep. It's not for everyone but we LOVED it. I didn't even know what we were doing was attachment parenting until I stumbled accross some info on the net.

The results of attachment parenting, a secure, happy, emotionally well-adjusted and communicative child, speak for themselves. Now I always think to myself, I'm so glad that I didn't waste a precious minute trying to train him into independence. He's become an independent toddler too damn fast!! And now that we've gone through the process, I realise that respecting and nourishing their need for dependence is what fosters a healthy sense of independence which comes out when they are developmentally ready.

So yeah, just wanted to say you wont regret it, which turned into a bit of a ramble xx
