When my baby is born (August) I am planning on doing what I have done with very young dc infants (the youngest was 3 months). I will keep him close to me when I have to do meal prep, washroom break, etc. in a bouncing chair and will not leave them alone for a second with other dck. They are only around dck if I am there to supervise. For my own baby I will also be using a wrap for the first few months with a combination of floor time in dc areas to get used to be around other kids under my close supervision. I used wrap and carrier for my now 2.5yo son and he did not become a clingy child. He is very independent and like trying to do things himself. He is not even too much into hugging. I think it depends on the kids personality more than using a wrap/carrier or not.

I follow semi-attachment parenting philosophy for my own, but do not agree with not letting them cio and get away with whatever they want. I think tantrums, whining, and misbehavior has more to do with not setting limits more than being close to your child. If I am asked I would only recommend AP to stay at home moms, not kids that will be going to daycare. Following AP with 5 or more dck at a time would be impossible.
