The books and publications on this page have been recommended to us by people interested in attachment parenting. We have not always had time to read them ourselves and listing them on this page does not mean that we endorse the views expressed in them. 

We are always interested in hearing from you about attachment parenting books you have found helpful, so please send us any suggestions and we will consider including them on this page. If you have a review of an attachment parenting book you would like to share with us, please send that as well.
