Are you a babywearer?? Oh if you ARE than at least you are "in fashion" or if you don't than you are not an "official mom". Don't agree?? Neither do I and that's why the Motrin campaign has SO HIGHLY offended me! How DARE they think that babywearers are are trying to be JUST trendy or that they are "good in theory"? We are SOOTHING our children...are you that ignorant?? So please watch this video and leave your thoughts, PLEASE!!!!

I saw that...big debate over on twitter!!
So I'm wondering, since I didn't wear my babies (I had bad sciatica) does that make me not an "official" mom??
I'm glad I buy the Walmart brand of motrin/advil.
Well Thank God I am allergic to Motrin!
I did not wear my baby either but really had no clue about baby wearing and all of that. Next child (if I ever have one) will be "worn" because I have serious neck and shoulder pain from having to carry my child with my ARMS! At least the a baby carrier would distribute the "load" evenly... what a F'd up commercial!!!
Motrin - Babywearing is not new, is not done to be trendy or fashionable, and shouldn't cause pain if done right (esp. when compared to an infant carrier).

See my take on the Motrin ad:

Last night was something! I had to post about it today. Love your pic!
I was a baby wearer! Hey you have an award at my blog.
The people who thought this ad up must think that we all had kids cause it was trendy as well!? Ugh, I hope that Motrin realizes the upset and takes down the ad and fires their Account Planner (who obviously didn't do their research and testing on the consumer demographic)
What a strange commercial! I love how they thought they were being all sympathetic but really were alienating mothers everywhere. I bet a man is behind this one... no woman would have ever written that. Way to go! :)
wow I carried Will in several different carriers until he was too big, and wish I still could he loved it.
No doubt the most ridiculous ad campaign ever created.
What a weird campaign! Go Walgreens ibuprofen!!
I'm so proud of all the activist moms who are confident to voice their opinions with all the options available to them today! We Baby Boomer mamas raised you gals right!

I'm a tad bit late to this party but still just in awe of all the amazing moms who got the ad pulled and in shock over the fact that it ever got made.
What a cute blog! I found you on Cheaper Than Therapy!
Oh boy...this bring back memories that is for sure!
