Instinctive Care for Your Baby and Young Child

By Katie Alison Granju with Betsy Kennedy, RN, MSN

Pocket Books, 1999

“A complete guide to the concept of attachment parenting, which argues that parental responsiveness to a baby's needs leads to a well-adjusted child, offers tips on breastfeeding on demand, responding to a baby's cries, minimizing parent-child separation, and avoiding baby "gadgets." Original.” —BookSense review.

This excellent sourcebook provides practical guidance for adapting the practice of attachment parenting to suit almost any family. Chapters on such subjects as holding and carrying an infant, making the breastfeeding vs. bottle choice and working parents are included, and every chapter offers an extensive list of additional resources. Written by a mother of three, Attachment Parenting features an introduction by Dr. Bill Sears.
