Attachment Parenting Style

Attachment parenting is a style of baby care that embraces breastfeeding, babywearing, cosleeping and other practices that help the baby form a close attachment to his Mother. Proponents of attachment parenting assert that it's a more natural, instinctive style of parenting that relies on the parent's own inner wisdom rather than "experts" who are outside the family.
