As your review points out, although AP ideas have some value, its preoccupation with mothering and breast-feeding misses the benefits that a child gets from having 2 parents.

Another criticism I’ve seen of AP is that it doesn’t support children’s developing autonomy well.

My favorite book that deals with these issues better (and which I often give to new dads as a gift) is “How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk”.
