I don't know if this has been asked on here before but I was just wondering what do you think about attachment parenting? And how about breastfeeding? Do you think its permissible to breastfeed a child in public at a nudist resort? Its seems to me that as nudist we are more liberal than some so I just wanted to get your opinion on these topics.

raven....Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world. Of course breastfeeding should not only be tolerated in a naturist setting, it should be accepted everywhere!
Studies have shown that breast fed babies have better immune systems and just do better in all aspects of life than so called formula babies.
I breast fed all three of my children. Not only is it good for baby, it is also good for mother as well.
Just do it! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Comment

Raven, there is no judge in his right mind that would even hear a case about breast feeding a child, it is natural, God gave you breast for that purpose to feed your child, if there are any questions, ask why you have them. It would be like not being able to go to the table and eat when you are hungry. You have a blessing if you can breastfeed your child, I'm sorry that my former wife couldn't do it. It is natural, healthy, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Your friend,

What is attatchment parenting?
As for breastfeeding, even Arkansas (if I remember correctly) has an exception for breastfeeding women. Some prudes in general society may not appreciate it, but they can just get over it.
At a nudist park, there would be absolutely no problems.

Attatchment parenting is when you don't believe in letting your child cry himself or herself to sleep. It is the natural instincts that every mother has that tells her to comfort her child when he or she needs to be comforted.Comment

I have seen women breast feeding in malls,parks,and most anywhere public. If done right, no one is the wiser. I am glad that mine were breast fed! They were never collic and never sick while nursing. I think my wife only had one negative response while brest feeding one of my daughters, and she told this upity woman that it was either this or listen to a baby cry because she was hungry.Comment

I see nothing wrong with breast feeding babies in public. If someone does, I believe they are the ones who need professional help.
My children were breastfed, & it was even easier to get them to sleep, when they refused to, as I game their mother a glass of wine, as My mother instructed my sister to do under similar circumstances. All the babies were non- cholicy, easier to get to sleep, etc.
If only mankind did not try to improve on nauture we wouldn't have nearly as many problems as we do today.Comment

my wife and i are strong believers in breastfeeding and attachment parenting. elsewhere in the world, babies are not shoved in cages (oops, cribs) in their own private rooms and expected to handle issues on their own at such an early age. my sons breastfed until at least 3 years old and they are loving, strong-willed individuals now. they all slept in our bed and/or bedroom until they were five. our daughter is occasionally in our bed still (at age 5) since she has bad dreams without us. this is considered normal in many parts of the world except the "developed-world". and than we wonder about all the problems in our country. this is an important issue in my life so thanks for asking it. p.m. me if you need to know more....Comment

While I can understand not wanting to let your child cry itself to sleep, one problem that can arise from quickly running and picking a baby up every time it cries is that it will learn that all it has to do to get attention is cry. Babies cry for many legitimate reasons and need to be attended to, but allowing them to manipulate their parents will cause them to become totally spoiled and lazy like a nephew of mine (not the one who went on Welfare at age 18). I have many nieces and nephews. One nephew was so spoiled that he dictated to his parents what they would do. He bossed THEM around.He was 6-years-old before they even tried to discipline him, and it was too late. He just laughed in their faces. They waited on him hand and foot even after he was old enough to do things for himself. As a teen he would tell his mother, "Make me a sandwich", and she would do it. That's just one example of what "attachment parenting" can do if carried to extremes.Comment

Here in CA we had a problem with certain restaraunts not allowing breast feeding. They feared a reaction from the radically rabid religious right. (Small numbers of ruthless people can cause immense economic damage to a public business.) The legislature responded by putting it in law that breastfeeding in public places is protected under state law.Comment

babies can not being manipulative, they are only responding to natural needs (usually fear, discomfort, bad dreams, etc.). little babies do not have the power or ability to manipulate people, that is an old wives tale. the manipulation you are speaking of occurs later in life and becomes a habit that does not occur if the parent is sensitive to the child and willing to be strong and stick to discipline that makes sense at a young age. eventually the BABY grows up and is no longer a baby and needs to start to do things for themselves. our kids do things by themselves because we make them, i am not their servant, but i do things for them when they ask nicely.
my wife and i tried the american crib thing, with the child in the other room at night in his cage, but everytime we put him down in it to go to sleep, he would cry. at night, my wife would breastfeed him and i would walk with him on my shoulder until he went to sleep, than i would put him in his cage (crib) and he would wake up in ten minutes. after many sleepless nights of this, my wife accidentally fell asleep with him on the boob in bed, and we all woke up MANY hours later all happy. we did our research that day, and he was in our bed until child #2 came along (than he went to the car bed at the foot of the bed). i don't think that is baby manipulating the parent, that is parents realizing their real purpose in life while the children are so small is to raise them the least selfishly and best way possible. we are starting to relax now because we have shared special bonds (one being nudity) that will hopefully continue to make us a strong family as we progress into the teen years and beyond.Comment

I agree with Daivd in that attatchemt parenting is important. When real young, as he stated, babies are incapable of being manipulative. They are simply speaking their own language and it is up to the parents to translate the cries. They may need closeness to get to sleep. When very young, respond to their every cry. I can't remember how old experts suggest that you allow them to try to cry themselves to sleep.
Jon-Marc, you are confusing attatchment parenting to permissive parenting. Permissive parenting is when parents let their children do anything they want (I have a few of those parents at the day care center). And 6 years old is not too late to start to discipline a child. They just didn't try hard enough to change their ways. Even 10 years old is not too old. Those parents simply needed some parenting classes.

Yes, Bob, I guess I'm just confused as usual, and I don't even have any "voices" like HW on which to blame it. HW, can I borrow some of your voices for a while? The problem is I might enjoy them so much I won't want to give them back.
My sister and her husband were very permissive, and the boy is now in prison. I have no idea what he did. The boy's (he's in his mid 30's, but I still think of him as a boy) wife and two others murdered his dad while he was in prison. What's really scary is that I'm probably the most normal one in my family. Talk about disfunctional families!Comment

And I have to add something a little off topic here. Jon-Marc, your life sounds like a soap opera!

Now back to On-Topic...Breast feed anywhere you want, if anyone says anything negative to you about it just ignore them. Parent your children how you see fit.
Florida-David...I did that falling asleep trick many times! The worst thing that ever happened was the baby turned loose and the faucet kept running! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Comment
