Attachment parenting is basically wanting complete and total control over another human being. You are robbing your child of independence when you do stuff like this. Which is only going to end up leading to behaviour where the child is 16 years old and expects Mommy to come to school and fight the bully for him or open his can of soda. These kids will grow up learning to be fully dependent on others.
Because they drink from the awesomest milk container in the world?

I think you are wrong about the implications, but I also don't fully understand what the 'attachment parenting' that is described in the article entails, so I might be out to lunch.
