had a pic taken of her slinging her son in a mama-baby sling (the double sling thing from Maya Wrap), and it was horrendous how she was carrying him, he looked like he was about to slip out any second, I got nervous just looking at the pic....
Wow, those sheepskin front pack things have the babe hanging down below the waist, practically! If they think that's comfortable and convenient, we should show them how comfy it really can be! I'm thrilled to see so many of them wearing their babies, that's really getting the word out there. God knows it takes a celebrity endorsement to get anything done these days...
I wish people got to see more options than just the baby bjorn, though!
Looks to me like she is wearing it spread out more on her shoulder, but with his hand on her shoulder that way, you just can't see the shoulder cap part of the sling. As for him,
I dunno, but my dh always wears the sling (any kind--maya, pouch, homemade, Kissasling) in a way that rubs his neck and looks uncomfortable to me. He insists that it's fine, and he hates when I try to adjust it to be over his shoulder....says that "impedes his mobility" Whatever. I'm just thrilled that he'll sling the kids!
I think it makes a lot of sense for celebrities to wear their babies. It keeps curious people from trying to touch them or (heaven forbid) snatch them from the stroller...
