For moms in/near Ventura County, California, drawn to mothering in the instinctive ways known as
Attachment Parenting. Many AP moms choose breastfeeding (including extended breastfeeding or natural weaning), babywearing, co-sleeping/family bed, elimination communication (aka natural infant hygiene or infant potty training), positive/gentle discipline, nonviolent communication, and respectful, responsive parenting. Thoughtful discussion of parenting and related topics is welcome: natural or unassisted childbirth, homebirth, non/delayed/selective vaccination, non/circumcision, homeschooling, unschooling, extended or tandem nursing, alternative/complementary healthcare, nutrition... We should express ourselves in a manner considerate of others, and strive to nurture a safe, respectful forum, as well as each other. This means no flaming nor debating the facets or definitions of AP and beyond. We're here to find and lend support, share resources and information, share in momaraderie, and plan playgroups and activities!
