Babywearing

Mommy you see that girl... She is carrying her baby in her clothes! - Random girl at the grocery store

I am not an avid babywearer, but I do wear my baby from time to time. You see she HATES the car seat with a passion and is too little to sit in the buggy. I have a "normal" baby carrier which most people are accustomed to seeing and a baby wrap. The wrap is hard to get on and not 100% comfortable, but audrey likes it. Today when she woke up from her nap I wanted to go to the store. I decided it was nice out and we would park at one end of the plaza and walk to the store on the other end. I chose to wear my babywrap.
It amazes me how many looks you get when you are wearing a baby. I thought it was common! I kept looking at my reflection to make sure my shirt was still on or something LOL so we went in the grocery store. I only needed a couple things and we walked by this little girl and her mom. She said the above quote. Her mom replied No thats a baby carrier some moms wont put their babies down and let them be babies. Nice and loud so I could hear her. I started laughing - if she only knew! What does it hurt her anyway if a woman wants to carry their baby! Oh well LOL we had a good day anyway

  2. What are you going to do? Put your baby on the floor of the supermarket to "be a baby"? Freak.

  3. Wow, that mom must be the mother of the year. I wore Eliza to the grocery store on Monday and had nothing but nice comments which made me want to wear her more often. :)
