And minimal research on the common sense practices like co-sleeping and breast feeding. And Hubby definitely doesn't know the reasons why we do what we do. He just does what I tell him to do. He follows most of the AP practices because I follow most AP practices.lafeli85https://www.blogger.com/profile/05230845140596243362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870326920555486515.post-13436658959693128102012-05-10T22:06:03.340-04:002012-05-10T22:06:03.340-04:00Yes it was insulting to both AP parents and non AP...Yes it was insulting to both AP parents and non APers alike.

Way to insult readers Time!Little Mixed Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809422684371439689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870326920555486515.post-36495400041537074052012-05-10T16:27:28.044-04:002012-05-10T16:27:28.044-04:00As a mom who does extended breast feed, I can hone...As a mom who does extended breast feed, I can honestly say that I HAVE nursed my toddler while she was standing on a chair. Also while sitting on the kitchen counter so I can stir something while cooking, and in several other extremely odd positions. Just like all other "crazy" practices that anyone says they'd never do until they're actually in that position, this is yet another. I'd never do something like that out in public, but in my own home I'm sure it's looked quite like the cover of this magazine.<br />All that being said, I don't like the way they shot the cover photo or how the articles were written. I do agree with all of your points, however like with ANY parenting style you can't group all AP parents together. To say that EVERY AP parent does research about EVERYTHING or that NO ONE nurses a toddler standing up isn't right or fair. We all have our own styles and techniques.lafeli85https://www.blogger.com/profile/05230845140596243362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870326920555486515.post-16690152990779085482012-05-10T16:14:46.914-04:002012-05-10T16:14:46.914-04:00See if you can reserve it at your library.
