You have probably heard about all different parenting methods, styles and philosophies. Attachment parenting, tiger parenting, helicopter parenting, hothouse parenting, French-style parenting, to name just a few. Some parents actually take pride in following one of those philosophies and it works for them. That’s cool. Others-like me- do whatever works for them at any given moment. I don’t really have a parenting philosophy.
I read a lot about parenting techniques when I was pregnant with Klara and decided that I was going to be the best attachment parent ever. I was going to breastfeed (on demand, of course), and baby-wear, and never, ever let them cry. And, of course, I was going to cook for her, and never introduce any mash, and would do it the BWL way instead. And then Klara was born.
