    Lee bee.....I think your parenting style sounds like what many people do (me included) Probably not considered serious AP.

    I also follow AP philosophy with my own, the only part I do not agree with is with the not letting them cio, unless they are newborns and cannot communicate their needs any other way. I opened my daycare 3 years before I had my son and I took about 7 months off mat leave after he was born. During that time I prepare him to self soothe when going to sleep. I follow a combination of what is recommended in ‘The No-Cry Sleep Solution’ by Elizabeth Pantley and William Sears and I also let him cio. He never slept on a crib, by 4 months we moved his twin mattress that was right besides our bed to his own room and I watched him through a video monitor all night.

    Even I follow some of AP style I prefer to take on families that follow this philosophy since many don't prepare them for daycare and I think that it's just cruel for their child and hard on the provider, others. There are also others that let their kids do whatever they want and do not set any boundaries and then call that AP, instead of lack of parenting skills.
