i love when they whisper, cause then I can say it's awesome and great. I'm not a shy person and love having my bay close to my heart, and having my hands free!

I am one of a few new mommies in my circle and I am the only one that babywears...I am trying to convince them to try it....I think I just may win with one of them But, I get the comments all the time of....we didn't have that when my kids were little, and I have had some people ask me if that is good for her...Like I am doing something that is stunting her growth and I always tell them yes it is so good for her, can't you see how happy she is? She loves to nap with mommy and this is how I get things done. I have also had people stop me in the store and tell me that is so sweet to see this.

But even though I didn't always have the greatest support in the beginning I have never stopped and I won't stop!

I just started babywearing with my 5th child. All I keep tell people when they ask is that I really wish I knew about it for my other kids. I have worn my DD who is 4months to several family parties and shopping once. I do get a lot of questions when I'm out from people not in my family. So I tell them how great it is and why we started doing it. I get such a great response. My family on the other hand dose not think it's such a good idea. I'm the only one on my side to have kids so and I tend to do things diffrently. They always comment on if I'm sure it's good for her, why don't u put her down your going to spoil her and so forth. I just calmly tell them about all the research I did and how you can't spoil a baby who is so young. On the other hand my husband brothers wife is expecting twins and she feel in love with my moby and ordered one for her and her nice.


Like some of you I'm very glad I kept going with my gut and continued to wear her. My DD was a 30wk priemee and I feel this gives us both some of what we missed.

If we are out somewhere for a long period of time, I catch people watching to see when I will take my baby or of her sling. They seem amazed at the length of time she is in it and how well behaved she is.

I bought a Moby for my SIL. Now my mom who does daycare thought my Moby was so neat that she bought one to use w/ babies in her daycare. How neat is that!

I get tons of positive comments from people when I wear my baby - although usually from men and older women. Moms, if they comment, usually say that they tried a sling and couldn't get it to work.

I agree with this! I read a few of the posts that people make negative comments, etc. I have heard mostly nothing but positive feedback and things like, "They never had that when my kids were little" or "doesn't your baby look cozy" or "What a comfy looking baby carrier, how does that work, isn't it hard, etc..."
People at my church call me the "sling lady" because I always have a different one. People who have new babies that order a sling are so excited to tell me about it like, "LOOK, I have one, too! I'm so excited about it" or are asking me how to put it on. I get so excited for them because I know they will love wearing their babies. It's such a special thing.
