Wheter you agree to disagree on the recent Time magazine cover, it surely brings up the most controversal topic ever – to breastfeed or not to breastfeed.

I know moms who have chosen not to breastfeed their newborns (some for vanity reasons and other for health reasons), nonetheless, whatever choice you make, its YOUR choice.

So this morning, Time magazine’s cover mom went on the Today show to share her views on attachment parenting and explain the story behind the cover photo. She was joined by her 3-year-old son, Aram, Dr. Sears, and Time’s science editor, Jeffrey Kluger.

“Attachment parenting” involves prolonged physical bonding with a child through extended breastfeeding, carrying and sleeping with the baby as well as responding to the infant’s cries.

The phrase was coined by Dr Bill Sears, a 72-year-old paediatrician who wrote The Baby Book.

“I understand some of the breastfeeding advocates are upset about this,” 26-year-old Jamie Grumet said. “[The cover image] doesn’t show the nurturing side to attachment parenting . . . I understand what they’re saying, but I do understand why Time chose this picture. It’s created a real media craze to get the dialogue going.”

“You need to do what’s best for your baby and for your own family,” Grumet continued. “You can take some of Dr. Sears’s attachment parenting philosophies and maybe not others, and that’s OK; you’re not a bad parent. Your child will still be OK.”

Does seeing the young mother speak about her reasons for practicing attachment parenting change your opinion of the magazine cover?

Happy Monday! Please welcome Grace Palmer, a mom who works from home and is the author of RomanticFrugalMom.com, about a womans quest to keep romance alive no matter what the odds.

Grace is sharing with us today tips and advice on how become an effective stay at home mom.

Why Being a Stay at Home Mom Is The New Going-Out In 2012.

Have you heard about the increasing number of moms that have found a way to perfectly balance family and work by staying at home instead of heading to the office every day? If you haven’t heard about this growing trend, than it is high time to learn the secrets and rewards of being a successful stay-at-home mom while at the same time earning a living. With the advent of the digital age, all kinds of jobs can be accomplished from any location with an internet connection. What better way to combine motherhood and work? This growing trend of working from home while the children are young might just be answer to the dilemma of how to manage work and family in a two-income home. Single moms find it the ideal way to support their family, and even grandmothers tasked with caring for their grandchildren have discovered this advantageous arrangement.

Research is often the key to successfully finding employment opportunities that let you work from home. Use the abundant research resources on the internet to help you avoid discouraging scams while learning the secrets of finding legitimate work-from-home options. Make an inventory of your skills, write a great resume and find the perfect home business. There is everything available from writing articles to submitting online accounts, networking with people through social media right through to opportunities to simply strike out on your own with an ecommerce store. There is nothing more satisfying than being a success at both earning income from home and meeting your children’s needs! There are whole communities of work-from-home moms on the internet. They can offer invaluable insight into reliable work opportunities, time management skills and even provide a welcome source of social interaction, something that traditional stay-at-home moms lacked. There are numerous small businesses that are local in nature rather than being internet based that can also be managed from home.

Of course, the major benefit is always being available for your children. The early years are the most important in a child’s life and who better than mom to be with them? The rewards for both mother and children are simply innumerable! You are there to experience every step in their rapid development, and you will never have the hassles and fears that outside-the-home childcare frequently brings. You are right there to guide and educate your children during these most important early years. View Post
