I flew alone with my 9.5 month old this weekend and wearing her made it soooooo easy. Trying to maneuver a car seat, suitcase, and diaper bag was nothing with my hands free and baby snuggled close.
Mmm Chocolate chip
Sooo true! Nothing is as fun as something they can't have. My baby practically climbs over my head to get to a knife or some other crazy dangerous item. She would probably happily chew/suck on a plastic bag for hours, but give her something she's less likely to suffocate herself with and she throws that down angrily after about 3 seconds.
I carry my baby facing in, but recently as she has gotten better at looking around she has started to object to the and cries unless I hold her in a way in which she can see outwards! I only wear her facing in though.
