Amazing responses to baby wearing

lulupinkerton · March 2010

I went to a birthday party for my friend's son last weekend. There were a bunch of my girlfriends that I hadn't seen since I had Ellie. Most of them are getting ready to start their own families or have LO's already.

I wore Ellie in the Moby and got so much positive feedback! I was relieved since I thought for sure that I would be explaining myself due to the whole "sling debacle of 2010". Not the case. Everyone wanted to know what it was, how it worked, where they could get it...

They were impressed at how cozy she was in it and how much freedom it gave me. I explained that if I didn't wrap there is no way that I would have ventured out to a park with my 4 week old baby.

Bonus- no one was pawing all over her or asking to hold her.

I gave out some info for good websites and felt like I had spread the good word.

There is hope!

Glad you got such positive responses - and sounds like you may have talked a few others into giving it a try!

That's good to hear. Most people who see me wearing LO thinks it's great. I just leave out the part that I also wear him for almost all naps! When they hear that, they think I'm a little nuts!

That's great!

I've often thought about bringing an extra wrap to things like that to show interested parties how it works and let them try it out.

That's how I got hooked!

I adore this wrap idea! I'm due in October and have a son who will be three in September. This seems like the hands down easiest way to be able to keep up with him while never being away from the newborn. I was REALLY stressed about a wild toddler boy and lugging around a double stroller plus everything else that needs to be carried ( My DH is military so its just me with the kids most of the time). I wish I had given this a chance with my youngest!
