Dr. Sears and his wife see attachment parenting as a style that helps promote the bonding relationship of parent and child emotionally through physical bonding.  This is achieved through what Dr. Sears calls as the "Baby Bs" – breastfeeding, bonding, bedsharing, babywearing, and boundary building. 

Advocates of attachment parenting encourage parents, especially mothers, to carry their baby and respond to him/her as needed, during the first early weeks of the baby’s life.  Contrary to the age-old belief to let babies "cry it out" so as not to spoil him/her, a baby's cry is an effective survival tool that babies use to convey their needs, which should not be ignored

Breastfeeding has long been seen as an excellent means of creating a bond between mother and child, but on top of that, breastmilk is the best source of nutrition for your baby from birth to sixth month.  Breastfeeding ensures that mothers hold their babies frequently and constantly, for mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding.  It also fosters the biological need for babies to keep constant contact with his/her mother as a transition from the womb to a baby's first breath of air.
