Is there really an art to babywearing? Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely thing that many people in my life have chosen, but I don't think it was all that difficult for them to figure out.

Yes, I totally plan to neglect my babies in favor of blogging. Truly, I cannot wait to create a new human being then ignore it in favor of typing away on my cheeto stained laptop. Actually, that was one of the most baffling things about this whole kerfuffle. All my friends with kids barely have time to bathe themselves, much less protest commercials on the web. Maybe that's exactly what Motrin was counting on...

Standing up against unfair slander for a choice that is NOT a fad, but an ancient world wide practice is a worth while way to spend my time. Correcting the gross misconception that babywearing is painful, if it helps one mother or father find the bliss that comes from a happy well adjusted child while still being able to care for themselves, is worth my time. I have taught countless parents and caregivers the art of babywearing and had so many come back to me with their thanks for helping them make it through some of the toughest times in a persons life. And it is good that you don't have children, because chances are you would be one of those hands off parents with their baby left in a plastic bucket swing in the middle of the living room floor while you blog about injustices a world away yet committing one of the most gross forms of injustice there is. Neglect.

if it's not a My Baby Administration degree, moms don't want it!

You can't wear a baby and get an MBA? Isn't the whole point of having the baby in a sling that your hands are free?
