One option for Christian families (particularly Catholics) looking for support
for attachment parenting (or anti-Ezzo ammunition) is the Couple to Couple
League.  They publish _Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing_, which includes
lots of good mothering advice as well as info on breastfeeding amenorrhea.
Sheila Kippley, the author, is (or at least was) an LLLL, and her book reflects
LLL philosophy.  In addition, CCL has a newsletter which always includes
articles on breastfeeding and on attachment parenting.  Within the past year
the newsletter ran two lengthy articles on why the Ezzo approach is bad for
breastfeeding and certainly not intrinsically Christian.

One caveat:  CCL's primary function is to teach natural family planning.  It
was founded by Catholics with very clear beliefs about sexual morality and
related issues (like abortion).  After following the Tabitha Walrond thread, I
am guessing that some of you might be personally uncomfortable with their
points of view; just wanted to be clear about what they stand for besides
attachment parenting.  They're at www.ccli.org.
