This is where it really gets to be about instinct and intuition. In my opinion the basis of Attachment Parenting is that we recognize each child as an individual and therefore we recognize that  she will have  her own timelines and schedules. I personally think that we as parents tend to rush our babies through the phases of development. We potty train when WE feel a child should be on the potty, versus when  she is ready.
    Babys give us cues. When a baby is ready for solids she will make chewing motions with her mouth, grab at an adults food etc. When a baby is ready to be weaned from the breast she will reach for a cup. When a baby is ready for the potty she will take down her diaper and pee on the bathroom floor (! my older daughter did that ! lol). Every child gives cues as to what she is ready to try next.
    I believe the AP philosophy about responding to cues is one of getting away from schedules, calendars and clocks and concentrating on who YOUR baby is and what she needs from you.
