Welcome. You will find lots of support here, and lots of information. I am not a new mom, but I still have lots of questions, and some one out there always has information for me. Also, I see you are from Chicago, have you heard about GiGi's Playhouse? Oh my goodness, I am dreaming of getting there some time when I am in the area. You are so lucky to have such an amazing resource. Anyway, congratulations to you and your Viking husband. You truly are so blessed.

Hello & welcome to the board! I hope you can get a photo posted, so we can see your little sweetie! I love his name, very cool!

I'm Deborah, mom of two very "attached" boys: Aidan 3 1/2 & Sean 1 1/2. Sean is our enhanced son! I am tandem nursing my boys, we co-sleep, and baby-wear. I even cloth diapered Sean until he started daycare at age 6 mos. If you have any specific AP questions, I'd be happy to try to answer any.

Look foward to hearing more about your family.

[blue]WELCOME TO DOWNSYN!! [/blue][big][/big] I have a 7 month old girl, Talitha, with DS and 3 other wonderful kids. I am not sure what 'attachment parenting' is. But there is always someone here who can answer questions. This place is full of really great people as well as being an excellent resource.

Love the name and the picture! Clara has a bumbo seat, too and she thinks she's the bomb when she's in it. She just laughs and carries on about what a big girl she is.

What is attachment parenting?
