I think you'll find *exactly* this information in the book I have coming out
next (early) summer from Pocket, a division of Simon and Schuster. My book,
tentatively titled _Attachment Parenting: Instinctive Care for Your Baby and
Young Child_  will present a nurturing, hands-on, attached parenting style in
an accessible, chatty,reader-friendly format and tone. I hope it will become
one of the books that informed LCs and other breastfeeding advocates choose to
hand out to  pregnant  friends and clients. .....

Okay, shameless plug over now :-)
