In case the commercial gets pulled, wander on over to Barb’s blog to see the full text of the ad, verbatim.

I’d like to know what you, dear readers, think.  Is Motrin is attacking moms and their choice to wear their babies?  Or just poking a little harmless fun?

Edited to add the ad from YouTube:

I’ll just say this:  I’ve not taken any painkillers for wearing my baby.  If I’m hurting, then I figure the sling/pouch/carrier isn’t adjusted properly or I’m carrying wrong.  Or maybe that it’s just time for me to get a new carrier. 

I’ve neglected to mention it’s International Babywearing Week.   Well.  It’s almost over, but it’s not over yet!

In case you don’t know, I wear my baby.  A lot.  I often get asked, “How many baby carriers do you have?”  Answer:  I haven’t counted lately.

In honor of International Baby Week, I want to point you to a favorite blog of mine, Adventures in Babywearing.  Stephanie is hosting a contest in her blog.  Take a picture of yourself wearing your baby, or write about babywearing and link up to Stephanie’s blog (guidelines and such can be found in her journal in this post).  You could win a Pop Nest Sling or a Sparrow Hatchling Sling from Nonny & Boo!

And since I make it a point not to post photos of me or my children here, I am refraining from entering.  Darn it all.
