It was still the time that most older mothers thought that it was better for baby not to be picked up much. They needed their down time. Good thing I didn't follow that way. I can't think of a better way to love your child but do think about those handles on the back. I sure could have used them a few times.

For comfort and for a kiddo over one I'd go for the latter two - the ergo is pricey but I think it's worth the $$$ and you can make your own moby - that's what I did. Anyways - Happy Mother's Day to you - and here's to a short wait for all of us!!!C and Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016028981337744382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519518994202519677.post-72324480869066201242009-05-08T06:49:00.000-07:002009-05-08T06:49:00.000-07:00Cora, have you seen that journal book that's out c...Cora, have you seen that journal book that's out called "My Life in Lists"? I'm thinking that might be really fun for you and right up your list-writing alley!<br /><br />We wore our kids in slings on the front when they were itty bitty babies, but found that (our boys in particular) once they were toddlers really loved when we walked around with them on our backs in this sort of hiking with baby backback type thing. They enjoyed the closeness and security of being attached to us, but loved their forward-facing up high views that the backpack allowed. They felt very secure and in-on-the-action at the same time.<br /><br />That's what happened to work well for us, but I SO will not be offended if you go with something else. :) Here's to you finding just what right for you!<br /><br />(Isn't it just so fun realizing these decisions aren't just hypothetical anymore...one way or another, you'll be carrying BB close very soon!)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />AmeAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203583624401719308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519518994202519677.post-21066532706375464462009-05-07T21:30:00.000-07:002009-05-07T21:30:00.000-07:00Well, let's see...I think we used a Baby Bjorn - y...Well, let's see...I think we used a Baby Bjorn - yes we did. LOVED IT. Quint loved it, he could face forward or back - we could ride in the car (no carseats) and he was secure on AB - we walked everywhere with him in that and it had great back support. <br /><br />Now go and make your choice and I promise not to be hurt.<br /><br />Smooch.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641535226387478870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519518994202519677.post-55476876597663154902009-05-07T20:48:00.000-07:002009-05-07T20:48:00.000-07:00Cora, I bought a sling from www.slinglings.com to ...Cora, I bought a sling from www.slinglings.com to use with Kendi (2) and Ryder (newborn) One thing I liked it that they made for all sizes of women. Secondly, the fabrics were UBER cute! And, it was like $45 for one, or if you bought two you got the third one free. Mine weights less than 1/2 a pound. I could put it in an 8X11 envelope and mail it if I wanted to! But the coolest thing is that I think this typs of simple wrap will feel more natural to her, since she's used to being carried on a back with cloth wrapped around her.<br />AnitaA.

You know, on the back, then we get the added benefit of the child knowing his/her life is in your hands, and, once they get through the initial fear reaction, they will begin to trust us...right?? <br /><br />OK, I was just joking about the life in our hands thing.
