Guerilla babywearing and safety - community edumacation!
All parents have to deal with unsolicited advice occasionally. It's usually well-meaning, even if it is unnecessary or unsuitable, and easily ignored. Sometimes it causes bigger problems. Such as what happened recently when a Frankston dad was harassed by police for carrying his baby, safely and properly, in a baby carrier.
What this shows is that there are people in the community who don't understand that babywearing has been practiced safely for thousands of years, all over the world, and continues to be a choice for Australian parents today. I think a guerilla babywearing session in Canberra might help, demonstrating safe babywearing and perhaps handing out cards for Baby Carriers Downunder (I have some) and babywearing safety info (I have leaflets on this too). Who's up for it? I'm thinking somewhere public, perhaps Garema Place, on a weekday around 10am. Do post comments with your suggestions!
