About this listen

America's foremost baby and childcare experts, William Sears, MD, and Martha Sears, RN, explain the benefits - to both you and your child - of connecting with your baby early.

Might 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 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 seven "Baby Bs" that form the basis of this popular parenting style:

  • Bonding
  • Breastfeeding
  • Babywearing
  • Belief in the language value of baby's cry
  • Bedding close to baby
  • Balance
  • 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.

best baby book

I love the ideas and tips for forming a loving attachment with baby; right now and forever. I started to wear my baby more around the house and outside because she loves it!

Repetitive

I like some of the ideas here. I really do not agree with the pushing of bed sharing. It is not safe. And the book comes off judgmental of you aren’t doing these things. Like they are the only way. I do agree with being connected and responding to your child, but the book overall just repeats itself a lot! Basically, pick up your kid when they cry and eventually you’ll get to know your kid and make a well adjusted human.
