Our journey into Attachment Parenting.
I was always going to be the homely, cake baking, playful mummy that my own mother never was. From a young age I was baking with my younger sister (8 years my junior) every Sunday and cooking Roast dinners for the family. I was the nurturing type and had decided being a mother would come easily and naturally to me, whenever the time came.
Why, then, when the time did come, was Attachment Parenting such a battle for us?

Parenting Lesson #1: Pace Yourself!
Well Valentines day started off so promisingly, I got a lovely card, beautiful flowers, yummy chocolates, AND a voucher to get a massage treatment (this would be making up for the four previous years where I got nothing!) - lucky Mummy! My husband insisted I go and get my massage treatment and then meet him and Honey for lunch afterwards - I did not argue, and his brownie points were totting up by the second! I was feeling thoroughly spoilt and special and had a wonderfully relaxing treatment. Unfortunately that is where the loveliness ended. Read on….

Breast feed - Be a star
Since the advent of commercial formula, in 1912, breastfeeding began it’s slow decline and by the early 1970s over 75% of babies were fed on formula. It was around this time that the “knowledge gap” in breastfeeding truly began. Providing access to the experiences of others is where the www.beastar.org.uk campaign really triumphs, it bridges the 4 decade long knowledge gap and charges us with the responsibility of being the women that our future offspring can rely on for breastfeeding advice.
