I am a believer of attachment parenting and have been practising this with my daughter since she was born.
The eight principles of attachment parenting
1. Prepare for pregnancy, birth and parenting
2. Feed with love and respect
3. Respond with sensitivity
4. Use nurturing touch
5. Engage in nighttime parenting
6. Provide consistent and loving care
7. Practice positive discipline
8. Strive for balance in personal and family life
