How do you educate people with regards on baby wearing? One time i got my baby a woven wrap and i totally fell in loved with it, but one day when my neighbor saw us she said to me that uy magiging "sakang" anak mo jan! and she points her pointy finger at us saying "mukha pa kayong badjao" sabay tawa of course i got offended and said to her that being sakang is "namamana" and i already told her that her ignorance is too obvious, then she kept on laughing at us and we just walk away feeling saddened

Always keep this mind: We are not born to please everybody. I have tons of friends who said the same thing when I posted a photo of me and my one month old baby in a ringsling, saying my baby was too young, bones are soft, "masasakang" and all other unsolicited comments. I remember someone commented on my Instagram account saying my son was tied, poor baby, carry him instead of putting him on that fabric. At first, I was so mad and dealing with those people are really a stress to me. So what I did, I posted more photos (lol) until the person who commented that my baby was too young to be carried like that (deep seat, wrapped, etc) became a convert herself and now owned several carriers. People may say what they want to say, but we mothers wants the best for our kids. Who would want them "sakang", right? Ignore them. Wear your baby proudly. By the way, I love your wrap!

I think we belong in the same babywearing group. Haha. Good idea! I do that all the time! I bring my son everywhere with our wrap or our wrap. Lakas kaya maka artista, right? They always turn their heads to you, especially when you use a bright wrap! Ha
