There's a lively conversation on social media about attachment parenting and sometimes it feels like if you don't get everything exactly right, you might be messing up or at least not be providing the best for your baby.

In this episode, Diane Goyette and Gabrielle Holt discuss how both infants and parents contribute to their secure, attached relationship. They explain how the attachment parenting trend lines up with attachment theory, how parents can support their baby's emotional development and whether parent attachment is affected when your child spends all day in child care or with a sitter (hint: it's not!)
