From the bestselling authors of The Baby Book, William Sears M.D. and Martha Sears, R.N. explain the benefits — for both you and your child — of connecting with your baby early.

Would you and your baby both sleep better if you shared a bed? How old is too old for breastfeeding? What is a father’s role in nurturing a newborn? How does early attachment foster a child’s eventual independence?

Dr. Bill Sears, “the man who remade motherhood” (TIME), and Martha Sears — the doctor-and-nurse, husband-and-wife team who coined the term “attachment parenting” — answer these and many more questions in this practical, inspiring guide. Attachment parenting is a style of parenting that encourages a strong early attachment, and advocates parental responsiveness to babies’ dependency needs.

The Attachment Parenting Book clearly explains the six “Baby B’s” that form the basis of this popular parenting style:
  • Bonding
  • Breastfeeding
  • Babywearing
  • Bedding close to baby
  • Belief in the language value of baby’s cry
  • Beware of baby trainers

Here’s all the information you need to achieve your most important goals as a new parent: to know your child, to help your child feel right, and to enjoy parenting.

Genre:

  • Nonfiction
  • Family & Relationships
  • Life Stages
  • Infants & Toddlers
