About AP moms of toddlers
Attachment Parenting is nothing new. It's a return to our instinctual parenting behaivors. AP parents believe in the value of the family bed, extended breastfeeding, and baby/toddler wearing- among many other things. Attachment parenting is all about treating your children gently & respectfully. It also all about modeling the behavior you want to see in your children.
Being an AP mom to an infant is a breeze! But things seem to start changing around 11 months...don't you think? All the sudden your sweet little baby is getting into trouble, throwing tantrums, executing dangerous acrobatics & trying to nurse in the oddest of positions. It's an exhausting time, and it can be difficult to stick to your AP beliefs. If you know what I am talking about than this is THE group for you. We have tons of support, ideas & advice. There is none of the "how AP are you" drama. We firmly believe that you should "take what works for your family and leave the rest behind". Also, while this is not an NP (natural parenting) group, we realize that many AP moms are also NP moms & therefore also provide support on NP choices.

Group Guidelines/Participation Tips
So we have to have a few guidelines to keep the group healthy & happy. I'm not a big rule person so I'm going to keep it pretty simple
Please Sign After Reading (Failure to do so within one week of joining we result in removal from the group!!)
1) All CM rules & guidelines MUST be followed
2) NO DRAMA! This group is for AP parents only. We all have common ground even if we don't agree on everything. There is to be no name-calling, bashing, or anything else of the sort. If it is seen it will be locked & then deleted.
3) Please put your ads in the appropriate place, no spamming the general list. We love to support WAHMS, but lets keep it all in one spot. Ads in the general list will get one warning & three days to move to the right place. It will be deleted on the third day.
4) This is the biggest one (except for #1) there is to be absolutely no "how AP" one or another person is nonsense It makes people wary, and scares them off. API clearly states to "take what works & leave the rest". If you follow any of the AP tenants then you are AP & welcome here. If you are "hardcore" AP that's great, if your not that's great too- As long as it works for your respective families. Any posts with this sort of talk will be locked & deleted on sight.
