Do not get me started on attachment parenting or the AP crazies I met in my preschool work days.
The prevailing wisdom is that if you don't breastfeed Bobby til age 3 or co-sleep until like kindergarten, he will grow up to hotwire cars and be a delinquent.
Breastfeeding is great and there is nothing wrong with letting your kids sleep with you every now and then, but the judgement that comes out of AP and Dr. Sears fanaticism is ridiculous. Like, I've seen women say that they actually don't breastfeed or that their 18 month old sleeps in his own room full time and have other women look at them like they just said "I plan to barbecue him once we get him fat enough."
