“Crunchy” lifestyle refers to a more natural and back to basics kind of parenting style, including things like: cloth diapering, breastfeeding, baby led weaning, coconut oil use, homemade products, attachment parenting, free range parenting, co sleeping, intactivisim, home gardening, chemical free products and natural birth. Moms who parent this way often refer to themselves as “crunchy” in reference to granola, or a hippy lifestyle.
