One of my favorite blogs on parenting is Motherlode, Lisa Belkin's column on the New York Times' website. She covers topics that are a bit more serious. She recently posted an article on Consumer Reports vs. Attachment Parenting. Talks about how unsafe baby slings and co-sleepers are... a bit controversial! I never believed in attachment parenting though. I let my daughter cry it out once in a while plus she sleeps alone in her own room and it works for her (she is a light sleeper and when she sleeps beside me, she sleeps less). Besides, I like my daughter to be independent and easygoing as she is now.
Her article on New Moms and Internet Addiction is a bit disturbing, only because I am guilty of it! I guess the internet is an escape for moms when tired of their daily chores. The sad part is they or should I say we, miss out on playtime with baby. If am not out for work, I am on the computer. Poor baby!
Okay, maybe I should just buy Lisa's book called Life's Work: Confessions of an Unbalanced Mom and log off the computer now...
