In just a few days, this ad set off thousands of Twitter comments and hundreds of blogging moms, causing Motrin to pull it off the air.
It is condescending as hell. Only I can say I look tired and crazy carrying a baby around, right?
What do y’all think?
Yes, it pissed us off for sure!
I thought it could have been worded VERY different.
When did wearing a baby become a fashion statement? I thought we wore our babies to love on them and have them close. JUST LIKE IN HE WOMB! DUHH!!!
I posted it on my blog as well yesterday.

mind baffling…
What were they thinking. Or was that the problem
What a stupid ad. If they are targeting baby-wearers, they shouldn’t make it sound so negative.
I love carrying my baby, no big stroller to lug around, hands free to do stuff, and a happy baby. If you have the right carrier, it’s quite comfortable.
I certainly had more pain when I carried my first two in my arms constantly, sans carrier.
