we have the smae name   but differnt spelling, mine is Melanie

I've always wondered what the real meaning of "attachment parenting" is, I mean, Aidan might as well be a keychain attached to my belt loop, lol, but I'm guessing there's more to it than that??

I wiki-ed it but the description seemed very broad...

My name is Heather. I am 18 and I am a proud AP of a 2mo. old little girl, Trinity Lynn!! I am actually buying my sling within the next week and I just can't wait!! I have a carrier but I need something that will help with NIP!! I proudly co-sleep//have a bassinet in room. I breastfeed--I feed when she's hungry (there is no schedule to my life) She will sleep if she is tired and I respond quickly when she cries. I don't do the the whole CIO!!

Yes you are ..at least partially ..
One of the things that is part of AP is bedding close to baby ..
and I think it's one of the best parts ..there's nothing like snuggling up to your sweet little baby!

Its hard to define i think.
I breastfed into toddlerhood and i co slept and i still have my bed open to the kids if they need it.
I waited until they were over 9 months before i started controlled crying but i did still use it..
I still shower with the kids.
But i do use diapers and baby wipes and i do have rules and disclipline.. so i dont quite know where i fit.

hahaha yes we are
