As I wrote last time, May was a VERY busy month for us, and it looks like I'll be busy much of the summer. I don't have any intention of stopping blogging, but updates may not be 2-3 times a week the way I had intended.
Attachment parenting has been in the news recently, in part due to the provocative (or inflammatory) Time Magazine article the week of Mother's Day. As someone who tries to practice attachment parenting, I find that I have a lot to say about this article.
The trouble began with the cover photo and headline. Other critiques have pointed out that the very pose is unnatural, nothing like what breastfeeding a toddler is like. I know, because I breastfed my son until he was about 3.5, about the age of the boy on the cover.
