This is the very first photo I have babywearing The Pea. She was just under 1 month old, and as you can see from the photo, I still hadn't quite gotten the hang of it (she's riding too low and too far away from my chest -- the straps need to be tightened!), but I could already see what a great idea this newfangled infant carrier was. Not only could I carry The Pea around with me, hold her close to me, I could do it and still have my arms free! The Pea, of course was on board (literally!) from day 1: I doubt there's a baby alive who doesn't love snuggling close to her mama, feeling her warmth and smell, being rocked to sleep by her mama's motion and the beating of her heart.
Twelve years later, the babywearing movement is still going strong. Infant carriers are more ergonomic than ever and more comfortable than ever. They're easier to use and easier to care for. They come in different styles to suit every kind of baby and every kind of lifestyle. They come in the cutest colors, patterns and designs. Even better, they are now much, much more affordable, so parents with any kind of budget can experience the closeness that comes with wearing their baby! Check out these soft infant carriers from Evenflo, all under $30 at Walmart. Each one is safe and comfy and stylish, so parents can get out and about with their babies:

Two soft infant carriers, three babies and twelve years after the first time I "wore" my baby, whenever I see a parent wearing his or her baby, I get a rush of fond memories and a pang of longing to carry my own babies -- not enough to rush out and have more babies, but just enough to want to borrow a baby and a baby carrier for a moment or two!
