A couple examples- they tend to sleep on their side, facing the baby, and tuck their knees up creating a 'c' shaped space that keeps the babe secure. They also tend to be more 'in tune' to their baby's presence in the bed.</p> <p>That is not to say that moms who do not breastfeed can't or don't do those things, just that it seems more prevalent in nursing moms.</p> Angela- I can’t speak for API, but as I understand it there have been studies that the sleeping habits of breastfeeding moms (whether consciously or not) provide a safer sleep environment for a bed-sharing baby.

That is not to say that moms who do not breastfeed can’t or don’t do those things, just that it seems more prevalent in nursing moms.

Way to go, Dad! I love what a strong advocate you are for attachment parenting. And I, too, use a Mei Tai wrap made by my dear friend Rebecca! I love it. Anson loves it too. Actually, Simon (3 next week) does too b/c when I carry Anson in it it frees my hands & arms for him. Hooray for babywearing and attachment parenting!</p> I love this entry, and I especially love that Peter wrote it. Way to go, Dad! I love what a strong advocate you are for attachment parenting.
