I think some aspects of it are becoming "trendy". Like babywearing and cloth dipes (although that isn't "AP", it's really more "NFL" related). AP is a frame of mind. I've got a really great essay about it, but don't know if I can post it b/c of copyright issues. I'll see if I can find a link, and come back.

Here it is: Being AP Is A Frame of Mind

Quote:
An AP parent is one who wholeheartedly believes that children are inherently good and that by fostering an atmosphere of complete trust and intimacy, a bond is created that provides those children with the foundation and security to become their best selves. It really has little to do with the tools we use to be Attachment parents. All that is important to qualify us to be an Attachment Parent is simply that we parent from an Attachment Parenting frame of mind.

AP is too much work to ever be trendy. You have to actually pay attention to your child. How many "trendy" people are going to do that? (Refering to celebs mainly).

I agree that some outwardly aspects of AP can be trendy.
