There are a few AP parenting threads going on here and I was wondering if there were any others out there who did not adopt this philosophy?
DS did not sleep with me as a baby - he did sleep in a cradle in my room for the first 6 months or so, but that was mostly laziness on my part. lol
DS was only breastfed for a couple of months and then I had to go back to work and he went to formula.
DS was held a lot - way more than my DM and DMIL liked - but I did not "wear" him or have a sling.
DS has been spanked. He is 4 and I've done it a couple of times and not for a couple of years, but I have done it.
Oh - and he has been both circumcised (sp?) and immunized.
I want to be clear that I am NOT bashing AP parenting, nor do I want this thread to turn into anyone bashing anyone. Every parent has the right to adopt and practice their own philosophies on parenting. I'm just curious if there is anyone on these boards who has a philosophy similar to mine.
