I practice attachment parenting and have been since the day my DD was born. I didn't even let my parents or my hubby's hold here for the first few weeks. It was hard at first, but I think they understand now. And I really do think it made a big difference in our bonding as a family.
Can I ask you a question and sorry if it might seem strange. Do you think it is really a good idea to not let your parents or your husband's parents hold the baby? Does it really make any kind of difference at all? I read some stuff about this idea and I honestly kind of think it sounds crazy to hog your baby for the first few weeks and not let anyone touch them or anything. Is it just me or does that seem weird?
There are lots of different theories on this and honestly some of it does seem strange, but a lot of it does make sense too. I guess it's just every parent's personal choice on what's best for them, their baby and family.
