I see both sides of the story. Some people do make horrible decisions for their kids (just IMO, of course, not saying yours is), and at the same time I find it irritating when I've really researched something and do what I think is best, and I get people who don't approve. Truth is, for 5 people who don't approve of something, you'll find 5 more who do.

Sometimes the people who give you advice have some experience in the matter and really believe what they are saying too. So it's not always a bad idea to listen to what they are saying, even if you're unlikely to change their mind.

Attachment parenting is one of those things some people swear by, and others think is unnecessary, and might just open up more troubles down the road. I'm sure you could find as many articles for it as against it. Not really surprising that lots of people don't like it.
