Abstract New entanglements between parenting (in theory and practice), environmentalism, religion, spirituality, and secularism are at the core of the analysis presented in this article. In francophone contexts, discourses by practitioners, advocates and detractors of natural parenting contribute to associating this specific style of parenting and several of its key practices with religion and spirituality. After documenting and defining natural parenting by listing its characteristic practices and underlining its values as well as its important overlap with attachment parenting, this article examines the historically religious roots of movements linked to several practices still regarded as typical of natural parenting (natural childbirth movements, natural family planning or fertility awareness, and breastfeeding advocacy). Along with feminist and medical strands of criticism, within these highly secular contexts, the association with religion and spirituality participates in the criticism of this style of parenting which combines the key tenets of attachment parenting with a strong environmentalist agenda implemented for the most part in the domestic sphere and around women’s bodies.

回到家又回到大自然？法语语境中的自然养育与宗教

摘要育儿（在理论和实践上），环境主义，宗教，灵性和世俗主义之间的新纠缠是本文分析的核心。在法语国家，从业者，倡导者和反对自然养育子女的人的话语有助于将这种特殊的养育方式及其主要实践与宗教和灵性联系起来。在通过列出自然育儿的典型习俗并强调其价值以及与依恋育儿的重要重叠来记录和定义自然育儿之后，本文研究了运动的历史宗教根源，这些运动与几种仍被视为自然育儿的典型习俗（自然分娩运动，自然的计划生育或生育意识以及倡导母乳喂养）。
