SPEAKING OF BABIES...

Traditional Japanese baby slings are better than baby carriages and framed baby carriers, for lots of mama/baby/economy/ecology reasons. In Spain, we used one we made out of an old furoshiki. I used to see baby slings all the time in Japan, years ago, but they faded away as too old fashioned. Now they're making a comeback, as do all things born of pure wisdom. Here's a good place to get them.
