I agree with what Gina wrote: supporting a mother in breastfeeding is  
to advocate for her child. The possible problem with making some  
parenting behavours into a packet and label it "AP" is that it might  
segregate - either you're in or you're not. AP as a concept was  
invented in the 20:th century, in the 1970:s I believe. Surely  
children were securly attached (i.e. would react in a certain way in  
Ainsworth's Strange Situation test) to their parents even before the  
birth of AP and are so in cultures that have never heard of AP.
