Example Sentences

"11 Mar 2002, Meredith Edwards-Cornwall, "Re: Babywearing question for you attached folks", misc.kids.breastfeeding,misc.kids.pregnancy, 3C8CEF57.6050506@spammenot.yahoo.com 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."
