Maybe you might want to give them some ideas on how a breastfeeding
mother can make good use of an intercom. Going back to my breastfeeding
days, I would not have lived without one - for those times that I was not
sleeping and they were - in my bed. How about when we want to get up and
spend some quality time with our husband while they sleep? My monitor was a
life saver for me, as it was so sensitive that I could hear them roll over
and get to them before they woke. My most fun time with the monitor was on
Captiva Island, sitting on the beach with my husband looking at the moon
shining on the water, while my two children slept nearby in the cottage -
it didn't last long before they started to stir, but I was very amused at
what I could 'pull off' while still being completely responsive to their
needs! I continued to use the monitor to pretty old ages, even after they
wanted their own rooms, and most especially if they were sick - even as
early teens, they liked the idea that they could just say "hey mom..." and
I'd be there in a flash.  Monitors don't have to be inconsistent with
attachment parenting if they are used the right way. Maybe they could use
some ideas so that they can still sell their product without implying that
we have to ignore our babies to need them.
