"This isn’t how we breast-feed at home, it’s more of a cradling, nurturing situation”

Attachment parenting encourages breast-feeding (sometimes into toddler-hood), co-sleeping and “baby wearing,” — attaching infants to their mothers via slings. According to this parenting style, no infant should be left to cry as it represents a plea for help.

“I don’t feel like that takes away from my personal life. My relationship with husband is very, very important to me, and I think that it gives my children a strong bond, too,” said Grumet. “A lot of people say, you know, you can’t really be intimate with your husband if you’re co-sleeping and … those are kind of myths, too.”
