She was very comfortable. <br /><br />I am also a baby wearer, but I never got up the nerve to try this position with that type of wrap. <br /><br />My daughter's aunt, says she remembers being carried like this up to the age of 3 or 4, and loved it.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179017575408367896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553042912917596386.post-10384304594086205982011-02-05T16:40:19.051-08:002011-02-05T16:40:19.051-08:00I was never a baby wearer and now I wish so much t...I was never a baby wearer and now I wish so much that I had been.

I've yet to master babywearing on my back (on any position) but everytime I wear my LO out I always get attention, it's great that people are curious and interested but I'm looking forward to the day when wearing a baby is just the thing to do, no questions.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444661181408603351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553042912917596386.post-89702400576571315452011-01-20T09:32:43.708-08:002011-01-20T09:32:43.708-08:00Mama Violet - It seems really low to me so at firs...Mama Violet - It seems really low to me so at first I thought the same. But my cousin does it like that and her baby is comfy and secure!<br /><br />Fairymom - wow! I wonder if people from other cultures who come here sometimes try to assimilate and leave babywearing behind? What a sad thought...<br /><br />Jan - fascinating! I'm usually more comfortable with a carry higher on my back... guess my muscles just aren't used to the difference!nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821740286799375290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553042912917596386.post-74342108232376899562011-01-19T08:27:11.349-08:002011-01-19T08:27:11.349-08:00My husband recently went to Uganda and saw all the...My husband recently went to Uganda and saw all these babies on lower backs and realized that the women there are constantly in the squatting position and have much more developed muscles for carrying their babies so low on their backs.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624095059556750242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553042912917596386.post-52291589339651875392011-01-15T05:37:41.461-08:002011-01-15T05:37:41.461-08:00When my olders (16/17) where younger I used to see...When my olders (16/17) where younger I used to see immagrant mamas carring their los like that all the time- it would awe and amaze me. Now I don't see any- this so saddens me, all I see is los in strollers or being dragged behind by the hand.
