Mummy wars

I feel like Galileo today (well, most days...) having discovered that the earth is round and finding that everyone around him wants him to be quiet as of course the earth is flat and the sun goes around us... The reason for this? Child and baby training. I have just left a group I very much enjoyed on the babycentre forum as the talk of controlled crying and children left to vomit until they fall asleep exhausted has made me as ill as these poor children. I tried this damned cc myself with my first child and not a day goes by that I don't regret it. All the scientific texts that I have read point to the fact that parents need to be very responsive to their babies, this leads to more secure children and adults not the other way round, I was told that attachment parenting is not good as children need to be independent, but silly ignorant woman!! That's what attachment does! It's leaving these poor mites to cry that turns them into needy and clingy children and adults. Why do most parents still believe the earth is flat then, when it comes to childcare? Is it because baby books are big business? Supernanny has great ratings! How sad for all of us...
