My babies are getting big now, aged 13 and 5 years old, and I don’t carry them around much anymore.  But I did once carry them around most of the time, in a fashion so popular in less “Westernised” societies (in parts of Asia, Africa and South America).  The reasons why I chose to carry my babies around instead of putting them into a stroller was because we both preferred it that way.  When I carried my babies they rarely cried, were easy to breastfeed (the greenest way to feed your baby and the best for them) - even while I was doing other things, and I could get on with the important work of growing food and writing my blog while they were perfectly content.

There’s also the fact that these little slings almost certainly have a smaller carbon footprint than a stroller.  These Babaslings look super comfy and come in lovely colours.
