Seriously though, why do people think that sling babies will never learn to walk?? DD started walking at 11 months and she is slung ALL the time!! :rolleyes

I don't understand comments like that... UGH!

My favs weree when people would ask me where DS's legs were as I carried him in the kangaroo carry. I just looked at them with a straight face and said- " they are detachable--- I will reattach them when I take him out." That pretty much shut them up-- OR, I would get all scientific on them about WHY a baby can sit like that comfortably. That produced some puzzled looks but I had a bit of guilty pleasure in saying it! LOL!

Rest assured you are not alone in a world of ignorant remarks!

For crying out loud! Do parents who push their kids in strollers get the same comments? I've thought it of four and five yr olds I've seen in strollers but even then... :scratch Good on ya for saying something back! :)

lol, I would've loved to have seen that too!

And exactly, about the strollers. What is the difference to them (them being people who say things like "they're not going to walk") between being held and being in a stroller that's going to keep them from walking or not?!
