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

When I was just pregnant, I have planned to babywear. I'd been checking on different kinds of carriers and been researching about it. Here in the Philippines, old folks believed that wearing your baby on the optimal position would make babies bow legged. Just explain to them that babywearing doesn't make baby's leg bow legged. Bow leggedness is hereditary. Also educate them the benefits of babywearing. Babywearing is a great practice for keeping baby happy and to help build a stronger bond between mom and her baby. The benefits of babywearing help babies grow up smarter and happier. - Dr. Sears Also please see: http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/laura_simeon.html Happy babywearing!
