 KellyMom.com Forum
Welcome to the KellyMom Parenting Community! These message boards support breastfeeding and gentle, empathic parenting practices. We aim to provide a supportive, caring place for parents to come. This is not a debate forum, and while we ask others to respect the viewpoints of the other participants, we will not support or encourage practices that may be harmful to the breastfeeding relationship or the child (Cry-it-out/sleep training, rigid scheduling, etc.). If we feel a post is inappropriate it will be removed. |

Parenting Styles
|
|||||
|
Attachment parenting (AP), a phrase coined by Dr. William Sears, is a parenting philosophy that is also known as ?natural parenting?, ?instinctive parenting,? and ?intuitive parenting?. The hallmarks of attachment parenting are the five B?s?bonding, breastfeeding, babywearing, bedding with baby and being responsive to your baby?s cry. Because AP is based on responsive parenting, practices that ignore the baby's cues (e.g. cry-it-out, scheduled feedings) or devalue or disrespect the child (e.g. spanking, shaming) are not appropriate topics to be defended or debated here.
