I love point 10! I am a wrapper and DS is 7 months (yesterday!!) and whilst trying to back wrap him recently whilst out with Grandma, I placed him on my back and could feel her holding 'his aura' as I like to put it as she was so terrified I was going to drop him!
I really like your post Kit but I found points 7 or 8 a bit controversial for me! Babywearing through history would have been used in most cultures - the Welsh wore shawls and many women in their 30s around now can say that their Nain or Nanna 'wore' them.. My (white) friend has an African Kanga that she uses. (Like this: https://www.peppermint.com/kanga-baby-sling.html)
And I would like to think that the wrapping skills I have picked up along the way/self taught myself would get me out of any tricky situation (FWCC for example) - much quicker than trying to escape a fire with a pushchair etc!!
Out of context I think your post could seem slightly offensive to some women in all honesty
. I'm not meaning to be rude or anything and know this is a 'playful' post..
I have been lucky though and do not feel as defensive in most situations - the majority of comments I receive on the whole
are positive - "Ah - look at him all wrapped up cosy close to mum" - that kind of thing
