Breast-feeding is the natural, optimal way to feed a child.

When you're used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.

I'm big on my kids being conventionally polite, and it works really well for them.

I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.

I get maybe four hours of sleep a night. I'm a little bit crazy.

I don’t want to say everything happens for a reason, but every day is lined up right next to the other one for a reason. The best you can do is do each day well with kindness and as a good person.

I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting, which is a style of parenting that... basically, the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.
