*hugs* Love ya Terra.Terra_Cide said:Yeah, just the thought that I'd roll on top of my child has me too afraid to try attachment. We will probably keep her in our room for the first few weeks though. I'm planning on also getting something like a small couch with a hideaway bed or one of those chaise lounges that convert to a twin bed for the baby's room too, in case one of us needs to be with her we have a place to rest too.
I really reccomend the attachment thing, it brings the whole family together nicely.... It will have B being more of a participant too......it cultivates a deep connection with the child that helps out later. Grin...I won't badger you. Read up on it. We carried it to the point where we never put our child in daycare he was always with me or her and rarely with an aunt of grandmother even.. We staggered our jobs to continue this. In our case it payed off in a big way, he has a type of autism that would have been more severe but for our attachment parenting. It lessoned the effects of his condition...for instance...usually a child with Aspergers has a hard time making eye contact...he does not, and interacts more than a typical Aspie. We are hopeing we can make him more socially adaptable to compensate for his lack of social skills, which will give him more positive feedback from his peers and people in general.
