A bunch of us over at www.thebabywearer.com are trying to get on the Oprah show. We are all writing to her (see link below) to tell her about babywearing. We are hoping that lots of people will write and she will just do a show! So, please write too!

what a great idea... as cool as babywearing is, i still dont see many mamas out in public doing it... and usually when i do it's limited to bjorns and OTSBHs. i think showing different methods and different slings would be VERY interesting.

 

[AngelBee]

Great idea!

 

[Quindin]

I wonder if that is enough material for a show...
And if they had a Natural Parenting theme, would that be interesting for them when it came to advertisement?? Oprah has a very mainstream audience...

 

[AmandaBL]

I'll write her. I thin kbabywearing can apeal to ALL mamas - even the scarry mainstream ones. :LOL I'd love to see a natural parenting show, but I doubt it. Breastfeeding's cool this week, maybe we can combo those? haha

Sent! I think there could be a lot of info for a show. They could talk about the unique nature of b'wearing businesses and all the wahms, as well as the advocacy and teaching that goes on with groups like NINO. Then they have all the mamas who are doing it and can talk about how it has affected their parenting, demonstrate their skills (and their stashes!). It would be a great show, and I think it could be very interesting and show that b'wearing is not just some fringe thing anymore.

I think that would be a great topic as well and I am in IL so I could come sit in the audience with my baby in a sling and support you if you let me know when it is going to air!

 

[kymberlynn]

I sent in one as well. I'd LOVE to be a part of that. I also added how babywearing can be addictive! I think I have over 10 different slings, pouches, meitais, wraps...you name it, I think I've got it!

[baileyandmikey]

sent in one about natural parenting, ap etc.

 

[dotnetdiva]

I submitted the form! It would be fun to spread the word about babywearing and through my business I reach hundreds of mamas a week, all while wearing baby on my back while I lovingly package up all the wonderful carriers.

There was also a CNN inquiry about wahms but I haven't heard back about that.

To add to a show about babywearing is the babywearing that some NICUs encourage for preemies.

 

[santina]

What a great idea. There are many celebrities that babywear. Maybe the show could include interviews form them.

Here is a link that list them:

it's too bad that ap is so "wierd" in this country. you'd think trying to be in tune and do what's best for your baby would be a good thing . . .
