      As for how long I plan to babywear, I guess I don't really plan at all. I'll just keep doing it until something else works as well or better. Planning always confuses the issue for me. For the time being, the sling is fairly comfortable for both of us and it works.

      I use a sling sometimes but can't really claim to babywear. Lots of snuggles tho! :)

      Just as I made the decisions to have natural births, to breastfeed, to co-sleep, to babywear, etc., because I love my kids.
