What is the best attachment parenting book out there?

Hi

Which one do you think is best?

dr. sears's The Baby Book.


it's been my bible.What is the best attachment parenting book out there?
I read ';Building the Bonds Of Attachment.'; as well as the ';Dr. Sears'; books. ';building the bonds'; is a pretty heavy book, but I think it will opens your eyes to building trust with your children. I think you will learn not to listen to ';baby-trainers'; who will tell you to let your child ';cry it out';

The books by Drs Sears are awesome. The thing to remember, though, and that Dr Sears has tried to make a point of in recent years, is that the most important thing is that parents %26amp; baby %26amp; family are all doing what makes them feel comfortable, happy %26amp; right. Don't get too wrapped up in trying to do *everything* that sits under the 'attachment parenting' umbrella.





Attachment parenting is about creating a strong trust bond with your child, not following a set of instructions. The ideas presented in any attachment parenting book or website are just ways that some people have used to help create that all-important bond.





And, you'll find, if you follow your heart, most of the ideas presented are pretty much what you'd do, anyway, whether it was 'AP' or not.





What I love best about the Sears books, myself, is the one anecdote that they told about their older son, hearing their baby crying %26amp; going in to comfort it on his own. I love that the AP ideas that they used to raise him made him confident %26amp; caring enough to naturally want to use them himself.
You can't learn to be a good parent from a book!
Dr. Sears
