Hello Marlena!

Welcome to the board. I love hearing how people just stumble in to AP. I keep wondering how that 'you're spoiling the baby' came to be such a bad thing. The closest anybody came to fussing at me was when my MIL told me not to carry around my 2 1/2 yo while I was pregnant with DS #2. I didn't listen to her, I was already feeling bad enough about not being able to give as much attention to DS #1  when #2 arrived.

I look forward to getting to know you better!

Welcome aboard! I'm an inadvertant AP-er as well and I wouldn't have it any other way. Once my babies were here I realized I was going to follow their lead. Never thought I'd have a nearly 4 year old and a 2 year old in my bed  but here we are and we're all healthy and happy.

hi! im Tamar, im 24, DH is Aris, 34, and i have a little boy, 8 months, who is named Vasilis.

i was APing too and i didnt even know it. well, i just didnt know it was an actual style of parenting. it is how i was raised so it was the only way i knew how to take care of my lil guy.

just so you know, i co-slept with my parents til i was 5(not trying to scare you)and then when they gave me my "princess bed" they also got my sister out who was 3 cuz she wanted to be like her older sister.

i love wearing my baby also. it is also the only way i can clean the house cuz he doesnt like to play alone.

I have wandered over here as well over the last 3 years. I've just popped back in but consider myself new since I haven't been seen much at all. I didn't realize what I did had a name to it and honestly just go with my mommy gut. Isn't that a beautiful thing?
