Thank you for sharing your joys and struggles. <BR/><BR/>While most aspects of AP didn't work for me, I was able to glean some beautiful treasures of parenting. And if God blesses us with more children, ( I have 5 children, and 2 in God's care) I hope to keep incorporating those aspects, as long as I can.<BR/><BR/>Blessings...nutmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859509998429653739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-11323933962053795902008-01-09T22:04:00.000-05:002008-01-09T22:04:00.000-05:00Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review of...Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review of attachment parenting as it has worked in your home. I have found that I am leaning more and more in that direction with each new baby. I loved Dr. Sears' Breastfeeding Book, which helped me in my fourth baby's newborn breastfeeding crisis. It turned out her nonstop colicky cry was due to her intolerance to dairy in my diet. Within 48 hrs. of eliminating dairy, we had some peace, and we are still happily breastfeeding at 18 months.Elizabeth Kathryn Gerold-Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198302426940280673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-2964601084889618772008-01-09T18:51:00.000-05:002008-01-09T18:51:00.000-05:00Leticia,As I read the posts and comments from Dr. ...Leticia,<BR/><BR/>As I read the posts and comments from Dr. Popcak and from Danielle Bean, the "debate" is less about the merits of AP as it is about the perceived criticism of those who don't subscribe to the AP ideology. As <A HREF="http://catholic-mom.blogspot.com/2008/01/permission-for-catholic-moms-to-relax.html" REL="nofollow">I wrote here</A>, there is more than one way to parent effectively. The methodology that works best for you and your family at any given time may not fit my family. Dr. Popcak asserts that AP is morally superior to all other parenting strategies. This is disrespectful to all those holy, faithful parents who have prayerfully discerned an alternative course for their families.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752198020371163071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-47435091708145208282008-01-09T14:46:00.000-05:002008-01-09T14:46:00.000-05:00I was just sent the "debate" about AP from Daniell...I was just sent the "debate" about AP from Danielle Bean and Greg Popcak. I have not read all the comments and not sure if I read all the posts from them two. <BR/><BR/>I love AP and it works well for us. I really believe you need to have balance while using it. <BR/><BR/>I could go into my story with everything, but I won't.
