Just Being Practical

I'm not faddish, I'm "old school"! Check out this beautiful collection of baby-wearing throughout cultures and time.

  1. Some of those look like their carriers are held on with rope or string (particularly noting the woman at the ironing board). Talk about "ouch!" Talk about ingenuity! I am oh so thankful for the modern twist to the carriers and slings.

  2. The mom hauling a ton of wood with baby dangling off her front is particularly impressive.

    We have the book A Ride on Mother's Back http://www.amazon.com/Ride-Mothers-Back-Carrying-around/dp/0152008705/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302271757&sr=8-1

  3. I love this. I'm still wearing 27# Jamie in my Ergo...it's SO much easier for me to get errands and chores done that way (even though he's been able to walk since he was 10 mo).

    Although I suspect this (and hauling 140# of scuba gear on my back) has contributed to my recent plantar fasciitis diagnosis. :)
