The basics of attachment parenting The basics of attachment parenting During pregnancy, the baby moves with the mother s body, in tune with the working of her mother s body. She grows and thrives, and receives sustenance from her mother. They grow closer together as the mother becomes attuned to her baby s movements, and the child also adjusts.
Birth is a natural separation of mother and child.
The important factor, when practicing attachment parenting though, is to make sure that the break is not abrupt. It is natural that the mother keeps her newborn baby close to her, and continues to love and nurture her outside her body as she did within it. Baby wearing One of the ways to help you become attuned to your baby is baby wearing. Your baby could be fed and nap in the sling, and you could do most of what's needed doing without putting her down. Imagine that you are a small child, learning about the world.
