Doesn’t Laurie look great just seven weeks postpartum?! Thanks for sharing the picture, Laurie, and great job on the sling!

For the record, I still use the sling my husband sewed four years ago! Nicole is five months old in this picture. We were hiking down to the beach.

And yesterday when the whole family went on a hike in the hills, my four-year-old even spent some time in the sling!

I also recently wore Nicole during a day at the San Diego Zoo and a day running errands. On both occasions people marveled at Nicole all tucked in the sling. They implied that she must be uncomfortable, and they weren’t satisfied by my typical positive response that it’s just like being in my womb. I wanted to shout, “She’s sleeping! How uncomfortable can she be?!” Baby-wearing and breastfeeding keep us both happy for grand adventures that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

Do you practice baby-wearing? Where have baby-wearing and breastfeeding helped you go?
