It makes me so angry. It's like someone telling you that the way you're having sex is wrong. Attachment parenting is not never putting your child down or all sleeping in the same bed until the kid is 12. It's just using your instinct, doing what's right for your family. He's flourishing and beautiful and happy.
History also figures into the pro-attachment mix.
All her kids slept in the bed with her, she nursed them all until they were toddlers, and when she'd get pregnant the oldest would go sleep in the bed with the siblings. What has not changed, though, is our collective membership in, and reverence for, the cult of expertise. Attachment parenting is no exception. Initially everyone we came across questioned what we were doing. Ten seconds later, I ask her about La Leche League, of which she is a group leader, and wait while she digs around in her bookshelf.
