I agree with the post above. AP isn't about being a slave but about responding in a natural way to your baby's needs. I used to call it natural parenting before I found the AP moniker. Now with my son? No way... he HATED the sling and being held even (still doesn't like hugs though he's learning LOL)... but I did pick up on things that worked for him. Lil Girl? She LOVED the sling and I used that sucker til she was 3 or so... breastfed her til she was 2 1/2 (MY choice to wean LOL.. she's such a boobgirl) and AP has bred a VERY independent little girl who also knows where her roots are. It's not about being perfect at all. It's about helping your child be independent through 'attachment' concepts early on... but no worries, we had our moments of crying it out (sometimes Mommy needs a timeout). My mom worried it would 'spoil', especially lil Girl but she sees how independent and mature my kids can be... really, what spoils a child? Too many material possessions, giving in to whims that are simply easy and not backing up threats. I've seen so many parents go "no no no no, oh fine, here, now shut up"... message the child takes away? Keep nagging, eventually you'll get your way. My kids know that I need say 'no' only once...
