Babywearing in the media (but they do it all wrong)

Jalee85

Someone posted a pic in my local BWing group. The picture is pretty bad, but the good news is everyone spoke out about it. Now the magazine apologized and is going to write a BWing safety article.

Link doesn't work. For me at least.

I think I fixed it.

I saw someone at Walmart wearing a newborn all the way down by her stomach. I wanted to say something but I'm a chicken so I didn't...

I know in a lot of my pictures my baby is too low, but it's probably cause I was just feeding him and popped him off for a picture. I swear I know how to do it right.

I haven't heard of this magazine but it's pretty bad that something that people would look to within the media for informative journaling on babies, would know so little about proper baby wearing to let this photo pass.

I just saw this mag in my doctor's office today, and I was too distracted by how rail thin the model was to even notice she wasn't wearing the baby right. I was like, that bitch did NOT just have a baby.

Yikes. That baby just looks awkward. How did it make it all the way to print without anyone knowing?

Wow, how could anyone think that looked comfy for baby or mom. It's looks so awkward. Btw, kinda on topic, but I finally found the ergo LOVE! I didn't like it for front carries, but I learned how to pop her on my back. Ammmmmazing!! Dishes, laundry, mopping, no prob. Super happy about this and my house looks great.

I just rediscovered my Lillebaby for this very reason! I was using it for front carries in the fall when we were out and about, but stashed it away over the winter. Once I figured out the back carry, my god! I can clean and cook and actually get stuff done around the house and LO is happy as can be. It's a whole new world around here.
