WOW... after re-watching the clip and re-reading my comment, I have more... LOL...<BR/>Apparently, the way to be a "mom" is to have rather large breasts, well, at least larger than they were before one was a "mom." Now, last time I checked, the way to be a "mom" was by taking care of the children you either birthed or adopted/fostered... and didn't I hear (from a much more reliable source than a pain pill company) that nursing can make your breasts larger... without plastic?! If I ever meet the woman who narrated this, I don't know what I'll say, but I'm pretty sure it won't be very nice. <BR/><BR/>--ErikaErikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273431755984995387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-84632886369033276682008-12-03T09:28:00.000-08:002008-12-03T09:28:00.000-08:00hahaha!!Jacobshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435919828480523200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-13718879409375335992008-12-03T09:20:00.000-08:002008-12-03T09:20:00.000-08:00What in the hell is going on with Motrin?

I coined "face boarding" just for Smidgen; she's almost totally advice-resistant regarding stuff like "don't run downhill, you'll fall down again". <BR/><BR/>We made a harness for Smidge, too, with a leash; primarily for use in airports. Really uncommon here in the States; was fascinating to watch the response; half the people obviously thought we were treating our daughter like a dog, the other half were clearly thinking about making one of their own.<BR/><BR/>We're an amusing species. :-)<BR/><BR/>The Motrin ad is classic consumer manipulation- generate demand out of thin air. Guilt is an unusual motivator, but effective.

Seriously folks, it was a spoof. It doesn't say that baby wearing is bad. It just says that if you do wear your baby and you do get a backache, please take our product. <BR/><BR/>As a mom - a former baby wearing mom - I am so tired of people getting their panties in a bunch about stupid things and making the rest of us look like idiots.

I gather its a painkiller.<BR/><BR/>I wore both babies for a short time without any pain - then moved to a pram (stroller for you lot) and then they walked in reins (which are great for preventing nose plants as well as keeping control - mine are a leather harness type). after which there is holding hands and then freedom. <BR/><BR/>No harm was suffered by any of us.<BR/><BR/>viv in nzknutty knitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00325560883289908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-11315278131969434922008-12-03T00:16:00.000-08:002008-12-03T00:16:00.000-08:00I just discovered this ad and the controversy surrounding it. All I can say is they should fire whoever approved this - it had "backlash" written all over it.<BR/><BR/>And, for the record, babywearing should not hurt your back. If it does, you're using the wrong carrier or using it the wrong way.
