I never knew what attachment parenting was when I had my daughter but holding her, co sleeping, wearing her, breastfeeding all came so natural to me. I was so comforted when I read my first Sears book. Wow there are others just like me and its called "attachment parenting". Because of my natural instinct I feel my husband was left out of the loop and he still believes a baby should sleep in a crib. I've tried educating him on AP but he just doesn't get it and I think doesn't want to. So I feel pretty alone when it comes to AP, I have no support. Even the mom's group I'm apart of none of them co sleep.

3 years later I still sleep with my DD. We bought her a big girl bed (a full size) a year ago which is in her room where I have been sleeping for the past year. I talk to her about sleeping by herself but she tells me she isn't ready and honestly I'm not ready either! She is very verbal and knows what she wants and I will not force her to sleep alone if she is not ready. And because AP her and I are very much attached!

Here is my dilemma...I am due with baby boy in October and although he was planned I'm completely scared. Will I still be as attached to DD as I have been? Will she be jealous or envious in any way? How do I get them to be loving to one another? How can I become as attached to him as I am with her? How do I co sleep with him in her bed or do I really need to move out of her room to ensure safety? Will being the only AP parent in the house cause any issue with my marriage? He is already asking if the baby will sleep in the crib (that we still have from DD that was never used). How do I make co sleeping with a 3 year old and an newborn possible? HELP!
