Puppywearing?

When I was pregnant with Myla, I decided that while she was little, I would rather just put her in a carrier of some kind than push her around in a stroller.  It just seemed easier at the time to deal with the baby than to deal with the baby and a stroller.  Little did I know, there is somewhat of a camp for everything.  Apparently, it's not just called "carrying your baby."

It's called babywearing.  Oh, and it probably goes something like this: babywearing --> attachment parenting --> extended breastfeeding -->cosleeping --> cloth diapering --> granola family.

Don't want to do those things?  Well then you have to be a militant scheduler who never touches your baby when she cries.  Something like that.

Fortunately, it only took a couple of books for us to realize, "Oh yea, it's OUR baby, and we can decide to do what works best for our family!"  Ah, relief.

That was a lot of pointless lead-up to say that yes, I do some babywearing.  Remember?

For a reason totally unrelated to baby parenting, I have been looking for dog crates for Penny Lane Livingston.  During my search, I became aware of a whole new parenting camp.  Ladies and gentleman, I give you: Puppywearing.

Do you think Penny would let me carry her like this?  Probably not-- she's a total daddy's girl.
