If not, what do you do differently? What made you become an attached parent?

I wan't raised in an AP house. I took Bradley Method Classes and it made me do some research and I decided that this is how I would like to raise my daughter. I am glad that I am raising her this way even if I constatly get criticized.

I wasn't raised in an ap home. But my mom was open and supportive, so that helped me want to do all I could for my children. She fully supported me being an AP mom.

NO definitely not. My parents were firm believers in beatings for perceived wrong doings. They didn't show us much affection. I am just about the total opposite with my kids. Especially with my youngest. He was a preemie and a high need baby. He is now a high need toddler. I saw information that said that wearing your preemie was good for them. I was willing to do anything that might help him. I may not do the 'entire attachment parenting' but much closer to it than my parents.

No I was raised in an unattached home with my grandparents, my mother was very abusive when she would come around. I just wanted to do what felt right to me and not behow I was raised.
