I'm a believer in Attachment Parenting but not a fan of how this book explains it. I felt like they were guilt tripping me the whole time. I recently had twins and reading the little paragraphs by the mother of multiples explaining, pretty much, how her experience using attachment parenting with her twins was disastrious and then the author following up all of her explaining by telling out moms of multiples that you absolutely need to have help in order to attachment parent the right way really really angered me. Not everyone has the luxery of having help. I have no help with my twins other than my fiance and we also have a three year old and five year old and the book made it sound like we need to ignore our other children in order to attachment parent our twins. I got fed up and couldn't finish the book. Great parenting style but presenting in a very offputting way.
