so , i bf, co-sleep, never let her out of my sight basically. never been with a babysitter.

Slings are the most awesome thing ever, they make life sooooo much easier.
I still carry my 2.5 year old in a sling on my back

i know i feel sad when i havent had a cuddle with him to put him in bed....its like somethign was missing in my day lol

if i have the definition right, i definatly belong here.
anthony is pretty much attatched to my hip. im going to marry him 

Proud AP parent over here! =]

im the same, i did breast feed, and i have never left him alone longer then to go to the toilet or run in to the shop(partner was in the car) never gotten anyone to look after him willingly.....i have co slept before but not all the tiem

Quoting The Male Brain{Heather}:“ so what does it mean? i have a feeling i do it ”

it's hard to pin down w/ a quick explanation but if you parent by your instincts then you probably are an AP parent  
it involves Bfing , co-sleeping , baby wearing , belief in your babies cries, not baby training ., etc ..I don't think that you have to do all of these things to be an AP mama..not everyone can BF or co-sleep ..and so on

If i dont co-sleep, the only way anthony will sleep is in his bouncer, and i hate him sleeping in there.

Oooh I am a very attached parent!! I breastfeed exclusively, co-sleep all night everynight, wear or carry amost of the day unless shes sleeping, except sometimes sheèll sleep in her sling or ièll carry her while she sleeps. I went out once a few weeks ago and ended up coming home early cause I missed her! SHe musta missed me too cause she woldnt sleep all night and as soon as I laid with her and nursed her she passed out!

what is everyones definition of AP?
