Title: Am I a bad parent?
Product review: While this book provides great medical advice and some basic newborn care, in other regards it makes me feel like a bad parent. I am not a believer in attachment parenting so this book was not for me. Good for those people who can carry their baby everywhere in a sling (including formal affairs), can nurse on demand without being extremely washed out physically and emotionally, and who can co-sleep with their baby (mine kicks and moves all night long!). You can't help but think what the long term effects of not doing these things will have on your child. Unless you believe in never leaving your child's side, nursing until he's 3, and sleeping with him until he's ready to leave your bed (Dr. Sears says this occurs around 2-3 years of age) don't read this book. It will make you a more neurotic and paranoid parent than when before you read it.
