Shame on them - Motrin - and hugs and kisses to all the girls who are wearing their babies and supporting others that do so. It is SO GOOD for you and for your baby. I have worn five, for different amounts of time, and I think it is such a gift to be able to do so.

She came to work with me until she was 18 months and spent a great amount of time in that sling. I attribute that bonding experience, in large part, to her well-adjusted, easy-going nature today, and wouldn't change a thing.<BR/><BR/>Speaking for mysself, I never experienced any PAIN wearing her.
