Is the ANPA for you ?
ANPA – The Anglophone Natural Parenting Association mission is to put parents who share natural parenting philosophies or concepts in contact with each other. English is the language used on the forum and in administration meetings.
We welcome breastfeeding mothers or mothers who have breastfed until their children wean fram the breast naturally. We believe that offering breasts as a sexual object is a personal choice and every woman’s right, but that not feeding babies with breasts is not a question of choice, but successful marketing. If you think you « can’t » or « couldn’t » breastfeed, please see www.allaitementpourtous.com or contact any CREFAM qualified IBCLC lactation consultant or lll leader.
If you share the basic concepts of natural parenting as listed below please fill in your personal details, Email the file to [email protected], and send a check to the order of 25€ for annual membership to complete your membership. Postal address : ANPA chez Yonge 15 rue Dulac 75015. (you can also pay by sending 26,23€ to [email protected] via paypal)
If you bottle feed your child, or chose to stop breastfeeding before the minimum 2 years recommended by the WHO, your membership will not be renewed.

· Breast milk is the optimum food for humans.
· Co sleeping helps to facilitate successful breastfeeding and bonding.
· Mothers and babies need to be together, especially during the first three to five years of life.
· Human babies have a need to be touched and to be held in arms.
· It is important to cultivate a community of like-minded families for friendship, information and support.
· We do not allow our children or babies to cry themselves to sleep under any circumstances.
· We find ways to encourage fathers to participate.
· The human immune system is dependant on mother's milk until the age of 6. The WHO&Unicef's recommendation of a minimum of 2 or 3 years of breast milk? We trust our children will wean from the breast when they can. We dont try to replace the real breast with artificial nipples. N.B. The term "self weaning" does not apply to children who receive artificial nipples.
· Unstructured play is essential to the full development of the human imagination.
· Hitting and punishment are unnecessary when children's natural desire to cooperate is engaged to resolve conflicts.
· The theory of immunity from vaccines involves risks often greater than the risk of the disease or childhood illness that vaccins are said to protect children from. As informed parents we are committed to protecting our children’s health by educating and informing ourselves about the risks, adverse reactions, contraindication and alternatives to vaccination in order to make the best healthcare decisions. N.B. Advertising does not constitute « information ». We agree to research the subject of vaccination regardless of whether or not we have already had vaccines administered to your child.
· We believe that it is our right to have up to date, valid information and our duty to inform ouselves.
Becoming a parent is a long and sometimes painful path. We bear in mind that we all go at our own pace in following Natural Parenting concepts but that bottle feeding is never a solution to any problems.
