I read this book while pregnant with my daughter, because my brother's girlfriend loved it. while it was interesting, it filled me with guilt about the way I would have to raise my daughter. My husband and I did "attachment parenting," but after reading this book, I felt guilty for not doing things as described in this book. This is attachment parenting (and community attachment parenting) to the extreme. It is not possible in our culture, unless you live with many other people under one roof, to never put your baby down until he or she is 2 years old.

It's definitely worth a read, but don't let it fill you with guilt about your own parenting style.
