People are Fascinated with Babies in Slings!

I don’t know if it’s just around here, but everyone is totally fascinated with my baby in his sling. It’s like they’ve never seen one before. When I’m walking around the bookstore, BJ’s, the mall, the hospital (visiting my best friend), and even going to my pediatrician’s office, I am the only one wearing my baby. Everyone else is either lugging around one of the crazy, heavy infant car seats or pushing a stroller. That’s all fine and dandy, believe me I do it myself sometimes too, but wearing your baby is usually so much easier. The only problem is that people swarm towards you and want to ask you a million questions. At least people can’t breathe all over him and touch him since he’s on me. I’ve been wearing him in a peanut shell and so far we both really like it.
I also have a baby bjorn and an Ergo carrier. I tried putting Jett in the bjorn the other day and he wasn’t happy. I don’t have the infant insert for the Ergo so we haven’t been able to use that yet, but I loved using it with Jax. I can’t wait to use it again.

The other day I had Jett in his car seat on my shopping cart at the grocery store and this woman literally stuck her face in there. I was so taken aback. People have some serious nerve. Then another day I had him in a stroller at the store and some mom told her daughter who was maybe 5 or 6 years old to go check out my baby. Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t need kids exposed to all the germs in the world at school breathing on my newborn. The girl didn’t want to go alone so the mom comes with her and starts commenting on my child like I’m not even there. She says to her daughter, “oh look at the baby. He looks so uncomfortable. Is it time for him to eat?” I was like WTF lady? He was just squirming around a bit. Geez. So, I picked up my son from his stroller and ignored them. Too bad I didn’t have my peanut shell with me. I would’ve just slipped him in there to avoid the hassles.
