There is also higher risk of having a difficult sleeper if you have a difficult labor and delivery. Breastfeed with Child-Led Weaning Breastfeeding encourages attachment and helps you take cues from your baby. It encourages you to watch your baby for signs of needing food and comfort rather than watching the clock and counting ounces. You and your baby will learn to know each other better and will be more in harmony with one another. Part of understanding the general philosophy of attachment parenting is understanding the real meaning of the term weaning.
Parents often think of weaning as a -loss of a relationship, a detachment.
Weaning is really not a negative term but a very positive one. Life is a series of weanings - weaning from the womb, weaning from the breast, weaning from parents' bed or crib, weaning from home to school, from school to work. Whenever a child is weaned from any of these places of security before he is ready, he is at risk for developing what I call behaviors of premature weaning. Don't limit your breastfeeding to a predetermined number of months, what I call calendar parenting. As long as both parties of the nursing couple enjoy this relationship, then nurse until both of you are filled.
