There are many issues of Attachment Parenting where parents might seek assistance or coaching from a pediatrician, such as breast-feeding (I am a Board Certified Lactation Consultant), home-schooling, vaccination, nutrition, medical treatment, co-sleeping, or simply the need of a mother who is in conflict with a spouse or society in general as she seeks to trust her own maternal instincts in the face of tremendous opposition. Such a mother who is struggling will benefit enormously from the support and encouragement of a professional advocate who will honor, acknowledge, celebrate and guide her in her choices.
