Title: Not for me or my kids
Product review: I rarely give anything one star, but I threw this book away. Short story, a friend gave me this book before my first baby was born. My friend was an attachment parent, and that just isn't my style. I'm glad Dr. Sears and his wife found a style that worked for them, and that other parents find that useful, but I would literally lose my mind parenting that way. My kids would only see me through the small glass window of my inpatient psychiatric room.What I particularly resent about this book is how Dr. Sears traces so many childhood maladies back to lack of breastfeeding, co-sleeping, nighttime parenting, skin-to-skin contact, etc. Again, this works for some people, but not me. Besides, inpatient psych units are expensive.My bible for taking care of my kids is the American Academy of Pediatrics: Caring For Your Young Baby and Child. Solid, middle of the road medical advice.
