This is a link to a study that says that strollers facing away from the parent stress the baby. Did it really take a study to figure this out?
It seems like it would be fun for a little baby to be pushed around, looking at it from an adult perspective. But as a baby, I think it would be a little frightening, you have no frame of reference and you can't see any familiar faces facing forward. In the stroller the world is coming at you fast. I think human babies are made to be held and it is such a short time in the big picture that its even possible. I know its not for everyone, but I love wearing the baby and keeping them close when they are tiny.
About Me
- clara
- I'm just a mom in the world. A crunchy Catholic mama of 6 trying to make sense of it all and stay positive. 5 boys here & 1 in heaven. One awesome man who I get to grow old with. I help new moms breastfeed. I`m happy. I don`t go to shows or dance clubs every night but I would if I could. Where`s the nanny? When I see her she`s SO fired! One of my boys is super sweet and sensitive, another one is a holy terror. I learn a ton from all of them daily. Like Nigella says, as any parent of small children knows,there comes a point in the day where you can`t go any further without a drink! I love cocktail hour. I`d like nothing more than to be with my family and some good friends surrounded by tropical plants drinking a margarita listening to the Eagles. I don`t care about trendy, I like that grungy 70`s vibe.

I wish I had known all the babywearing options before Liam. I had an OTSBH with Isaac, but didn't like it very much because it put a lot of strain on the one shoulder (and was so bulky!) I discovered wraps with Li and I love it! So comfortable, since the weight is distributed evenly and it was like a second womb. I am really looking forward to wearing my newborn again!
I'm a big fan of the Baby Bjorn myself, but I also like the stroller too.
