Whoever "diagnosed" this baby knew stuff all about normal attachment or
attachment disorder.
One of my interests is how breastfeeding can assist children at risk of
attachment issues, it doesn't hurt, it helps....a lot! Hard to believe that
someone could say such stupid things! I too hope this mum follows through.
For those wanting a good overview of attachment research I highly recommend
a book called "Becoming Attached" by Robert Karen.
