For those people who read my blog and take issue with me talking about my life with Damian or attached parenting get over it, you choose to read it after all. I won’t be offended if you stop reading, I probably won’t even notice!

I have gotten several comments about commenting on my blog lately. Above the comment box on each post it has always said:

Comments are moderated and may not show up immediately. Please be patient, do not post twice, we will get your comment.

I pinkie swear that I do not purposely moderate anyones comments. Some comments go into the moderation queue for a variety of reasons but mainly because you probably clear your cookies often (I think it also happens when you or change the email address you use when you comment or post lots of links…) If your comment doesn’t show up after you post it, you can be 99.9% sure I got it and just need to approve it, which Michael or I will do when we have a moment to spare (I do delete duplicates though.)

I know I have been talking about breastfeeding a lot lately but it takes up a huge portion of my day. In fact I only have time to blog while I breastfeed. My brother had a good point though that there are other aspects to parenting I could discuss. None of them are as much of a challenge to me (or take as much time) as breastfeeding though. Still I am going to try to take hsi advice, the other stuff might be pretty interesting to some as well. Michael and I practice natural and attached parenting, so I am going to try to start talking about co-sleeping, babywearing, bathing together, cloth diapering, not letting Damian cry it out, natural childbirth and delayed vaccination.

Oh and another thing I do not intend for any of my posts to be an attack on anyone else who has an alternate parenting style to ours. Attached parenting is simply what works best for our situation. Please don’t take my posts as a personal attack on you, I don’t have time to waste attacking individuals. Believe it or not a baby is very time consuming! Hehe.

Anyhow, I will talk about all these things but Damian just dozed off so we are going to nap now… and then continue the search for the missing camera upload cable. I have some cloth diapering photos to post.

    We co slept as well, and NEVER let our babies cry it out. That just teaches them that they are helpless to change their circumstances. Actually, it appears that we still co sleep. Thumbelina will soon be 11 and she didn’t even attempt to go to sleep in her own bed last night. She just came straight to ours. :-) Huck does the same thing about once a week.

    Just ignore everybody’s parenting advice. Damien is yours and Michael’s to love and protect.

    I like reading about everything you post as well. I did see a couple of those ignorant posts you were presumably talking about, pretty annoying. Besides, if breastfeeding is one of the most difficult things, the more I wanna hear about it, since it will likely help me (and other women) in the future if I ever have a child.

    So “boo” to people that have an issue!

    I’ll never understand how some people could find breastfeeding, cloth diapering, or attachment parenting offensive. It seems so silly. Rock on mama, just do what you do. :)

    Honey…you blog about whatever is close to your heart and forget what everyone is might complain about! It is YOUR blog. YOUR outlet! I love reading about your parenting adventures! If other’s have an issue with what you put in your blog, tell them to go jump in a lake! Keep on Keepin’ on, doll…you are doing great

    P.S., I still do attachment parenting and my kid is 7 1/2 and it still works wonderfully!
