I’ve been told by so many people that if I breastfeed Ara too long she’ll never be inderpendant….(see this post to see if I really want her to be)

I’ve been told that if I hold her as in Babywearing…she will never want to get down and always need me and never have any conferdence to be alone by herself.

I’ve been told that if I parent Ara off to sleep every night that she will always need me and never learn to self settle.

Ahhh ha But wait….. 

The last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster ride for me as my Attachment Parenting has pulled at my heart strings and almost sent me over the edge. Since Dave has been off at work now during the week for days and nights… Ara has been all over me…she’s been almost sleeping on top of me…and I’ve not been able to leave her sight.

AHHHHHHHHHHH drive me nuts.

Now this week I’ve been informed by my 2 year old that I can go down the road by myself to get dinner (I didn’t but it was nice to be told).

I’ve been told “NO…Ara” then she would sign “walk”…”own” and told me away and pointed to the cat and “up”. I supose if I work it out  she’s saying…”No thanks Mum I’ll walk on my own…but if you want to carry someone you can carry the cat”

I have also been finding my bed empty and looking for her in the night and finding her in her own cot. And I can’t remeber now what it was like to have to wake up in the middle of then night any more (oh goodnees it will be a shock in a year or so when number two comes along).
