Though there have been various kinds of
parenting that have been considered «mainstream» over the
years, the
parenting subcultures I most often hear referred to as «alternative»
parenting styles tend to be the ones that some folks might describe as being kind of «hippie -
ish» in nature: moms who intentionally plan to birth outside of hospitals; moms who breastfeed beyond six months or a
year; folks who babywear, especially if they do so more than they use a stroller or continue to do so well into toddlerhood;
parents who co-sleep or use a family bed, especially past early infancy; free range
parents; unschooling
parents, and so on and so forth.
